Reformed Tradition

The Reformed Tradition is a branch of Protestant Christianity that originated in the 16th century during the Protestant Reformation. It emphasizes the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, and salvation by grace through faith. Influenced by theologians like John Calvin, it advocates for a disciplined approach to worship, governance, and community life. The tradition values education and encourages believers to engage with societal issues through a biblical lens. Key denominations within this tradition include Presbyterians and Reformed churches, which often stress the importance of covenant theology and the role of the church in the world.
