I'm not so sure:I would probably pick a Protestant Reformed over a paedocommunion CREC, but this particular congregation affirms the WCF view of the Lord's Supper.
Source: https://trinitycda.org/about-our-worship/Baptism is a covenantal rite that formally acknowledges you as a child of God and grants you access to the privileges of the family of God. Just as you are born once, so you are baptized once. But that child gets dinner every time the family eats. So baptism is a sacrament of initiation, and the Lord’s Supper a sacrament of continuation. Baptism is an individual sacrament, and the Lord’s Supper is a community sacrament.
Also, on their "Resources" page, under, "Helpful Links," the first link is to a document entitled What to Expect in a CREC Church. This document has a section with a heading of "Child Communion," explaining paedocommunion.
You'll be hard pressed to find a church that wants to take on the stigma of the CREC when they can just as happily belong to another denomination. The two issues that make the difference are paedocommunion and justification.
