Reformed Book Services
Our churches also endorse a Christian Bookstore called Reformed Book Services, located in Brantford, Ontario. While this ‘non-profit’ store is not a denominational enterprise, it is directed and staffed by members from our denomination. This book store seeks to promote Godliness, Revival and Reformation and therefore endeavours to sell only publications which are Biblical. The website is: https://reformedbookservices.com/
