THE REFORMED CONGREGATION IN WARSAW

Ecclesia reformata et semper reformanda verbi Divini
The Reformed Church in Poland has been active as an organised structure since the middle of the 16th century. It belongs to the world’s family of Christian churches deriving from the Swiss branch of Reformation. Our co-believers were known as „Huguenots” in France and in the Anglo-Saxon world — „Presbyterians”. John Calvin (1509-1564) and Ulrich Zwingli (1484-1531) were the authors of Reformed theology and the founders of teaching and Church organisation.
Reformed Protestants follow two main principles in their faith and activity:
- Glory to God alone in Holy Trinity (Soli Deo Gloria)
- The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the one and only source of faith and pattern of life, as they contain everything that is necessary for one’s salvation.
These principles determine all Church teachings, organisation and life. This is why there are only two sacraments, the only ones set by Jesus Christ: baptism and communion, given to the believers in form of bread and wine. This is also why there are no religious paintings or sculptures inside church buildings, and members of the Church do not pray to either saints or the virgin Mary. This is why there is no hierarchy. Laymen and ministers are equal in sharing responsibility for the Church, hence the synodal-presbyterian system, which enables all Church affairs to be managed by the synod — the general assembly of ministers and lay representatives (presbyteries) elected by all congregations and by the diaspora.
