CELEBRATION<br />
Much has changed in the last 125<br />
years, but the congregation at<br />
Central Reformed Church in<br />
downtown Sioux Center is as committed to<br />
a multigenerational vision of Bible-based<br />
worship as it was when it made a major<br />
change all those years ago.<br />
This year marks the 125th year since Central<br />
changed denominations. Established in<br />
1887, Central initially was a Presbyterian<br />
church and located at a different site. As<br />
was common for a Sioux Center church of<br />

Central Reformed<br />

history within the city.<br />
Originally established as<br />
a Presbyterian church,<br />
it switched to the<br />
Reformed Church in<br />
America in 1899.<br />
