Should I try this Calvinist Church / What do they believe?

[ICONO'CLAST]

hi....

I'm hoping someone can assist me. I grew up in a non Denominational church, and was trying to get a better understanding of Calvinism. I am not an expert, and I'm not going to pretend to be, but I just want to understand a few things before I continue to attend this reformation church in my area.
From what I've heard, Calvinism promotes Predestination, which I think means God has already decided who is and who is not going to be saved. If this is truly what they believe, then...

1. How do I know if I am part of the elect?
2. I don't understand why Jesus had to die if the decision was already made

I'm not trying to argue nor am I interested in debating, I'm just trying to get an understanding, so any help or links you have would be greatly appreciated. The people seem very nice and the message is always on point.

Thanks

Look at the 1689 confession of faith, it is a good summary of biblical teaching.
