What does Reformed mean?

At Redeemer University, the word Reformed refers to a rich, living, distinct, Christian tradition that acknowledges the breadth and depth of the larger church, including all who belong to Jesus Christ. In 2023-24, the university developed a digital publication that dives deeper into this tradition to add clarification and context to the Christian community.
