Swiss Reformed Churches

Swiss Reformed Churches refer to a branch of Protestant Christianity that originated in Switzerland during the Reformation in the 16th century. Key figures like Ulrich Zwingli and John Calvin were influential, emphasizing Scripture as the sole authority in faith and practice. These churches value the sovereignty of God, predestination, and a communal understanding of faith. The Swiss Reformed tradition significantly shaped Protestant beliefs and practices, focusing on the importance of education, social justice, and community responsibility. Today, it includes various denominations, with a commitment to ecumenism and a modern approach to theology and social issues.
