Welcome to The Reformation Center
The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century AD was a monumental event in church history, where the light of the pure Gospel of grace was rediscovered and boldly proclaimed. With that in mind, the purpose of this site is to:
1. Proclaim that Gospel of grace to those who do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
2. Provide well reasoned answers to those who may have questions concerning the Christian faith.
3. Promote the God-centered theology of the Reformation which has largely been abandoned for a man-centered philosophy that exalts the "sovereign" will of the creature, ignorance, and compromise with the culture as true spirituality.
