We Celebrate Christ!

We celebrate the Reformation to make much of Christ, not the Reformation. We do not venerate men. We acknowledge God's gifting and mighty work through instruments of His choosing, for His glory. We worship God alone and praise Him for His grace toward us through this pivotal history that unleashed the gospel afresh on a dark and forgetful world.

Our purpose is to steward the history of the Reformation to glorify God and increase our joy in Him.
