Membership
At ERC, we invite any local Christians who profess the Apostles’ Creed and who have been baptized into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to join our church in a formal way through church membership.
If you are student who has membership at your local church back home, but would still like to be formally under the care of our session, we also invite you to be Under Care of our session while retaining your membership at your home church.
Email our teaching elder at jsharlow11@icloud.com to set up an appointment with an elder if you would like to join or for more information about our constitution, confessions, statements, and membership vows. More info can also be found on our about page.
Breeze Directory
Breeze is our directory and email platform for our congregation to receive regular updates about events and information related to Emmanuel. If you are a member or a regular attender, contact Jeff Harlow to be added to Breeze.
Once you are connected, you can access Breeze either from their website or download the app for your mobile device.
Parish Groups
Parish Groups form a vital part of our community to gather together in smaller groups during the week, to share in fellowship and food (loving one another), studying the Bible and prayer (worshiping God), and outreach (serving our neighbors). All of these activities flow in and out of our weekly Lord’s Day worship. Click here to read our statements on parish life.
Parish Groups meet about six times in the fall and six in the spring, although some meet more often. Discussion usually centers around the weekly sermon or a book that we are reading through after a shared meal and ends in prayer. Meeting times are usually Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday evening. If you would like to sign up for a parish group, please contact Justin Swift at justinwswift@gmail.com
Outreach
ERC is involved in several areas of outreach in Moscow. These include ministries at our local jail, the Hope @ Work program at the HOPE Center, and hospitality to the strangers in our midst.
Christian Education
Christian Education Opportunities in the Community: ERC is committed to helping parents give their children a Christ-centered education. To this end, ERC encourages families to check out Logos School, The Jubilee School, White Horse Hall, Classical Conversations, Homeschooling, Pullman Christian School, Logos Online School, Kepler Education, and other schools associated with the Association of Classical Christian Schools as local options for Christian education. We also recommend New Saint Andrews College for continuing Christian education at the collegiate level.
Commended Ministries
Commended Ministries are those ministries which a majority of the ERC session endorses as doing a good work in kingdom building and worthy of ERC’s particular commendation. They are not necessarily local, but they are focused on gospel work and hold to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the authority of the Scriptures.

Collegiate Reformed Fellowship
Collegiate Reformed Fellowship is the campus ministry of Christ Church and Trinity Reformed Church in Moscow, Idaho. Our goal is to teach and exhort young men and women to serve, to witness, to stand fast, and to mature in their Christian faith. We desire to see students get established in a godly lifestyle and a trajectory toward maturity. We also desire to proclaim the Christian worldview to the university population and the surrounding communities. CRF is not an independent ministry. All our activities are supplemental to the teaching and shepherding ministry of CC and TRC. Students involved with CRF are regularly reminded that the most important student ministry takes place at Lord’s Day worship.
Students for the Relief of the Oppressed
Students for the Relief of the Oppressed (SRO) is a non-profit Christian organization run by students in Moscow, Idaho and is a ministry of Trinity Reformed Church. We aim to connect local students with the needs of the Church both here in Moscow and abroad.
The mission of Students for the Relief of the Oppressed is to connect Christian students in the Moscow community to the larger body of the church where they become aware of the oppression locally and abroad. Students join in weekly prayer groups, various fundraising events, and singing at nursing homes in order to actively bring Christ’s love by serving in community.
