REFORMED COLLOQUIUM
25–27 March 2025 | Budapest
THE DOCTRINE OF GOD
“Behold your God!”
Isaiah 40:9
We warmly invite all pastors, elders, theological educators, students and wives to our 2025 Colloquium.
This year our theme is ‘The Doctrine of God’. As Martin Bucer wrote, ‘True theology is not theoretical but practical. The end is to live a godly life’. There is no more glorious—or practical—contemplation than the person and work of our triune God!
We hope you will join us for three heartwarming days of worship, fellowship and teaching in the beautiful city of Budapest.
