On behalf of your Christian brothers and sisters, welcome to the homepage of the Reformed Evangelical Synod of America.
Our calling is to live out the mandate of our Lord known as the Great Commission to make disciples of all the nations. It is our conviction that we serve the Risen Lord; the One who empowers His people to spread His worship and glory across the nations and through the generations among those who consider themselves classically evangelical, reformed, and vitally connected to the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church.
We welcome you to join us on the journey.

The ancient kingdom of Armenia was the first country to become Christian, and it recognizes Gregory as its apostle. Armenia was a buffer state between the powerful empires of Rome and Parthia, and both of them sought to control it.
Gregory was born about 257. When he was still an infant, his father assassinated the King of Parthia, and friends of the family carried Gregory away for protection to Caesarea in Cappadocia, where he was reared as a Christian. About 280 he returned to Armenia, where he was at first treated severely, but eventually by his preaching and example brought both King Tiridates and a majority of his people to the Christian faith.
About 300, Gregory was consecrated the first bishop of Armenia. He died about 332. Armenian Christians to this day remember him with honor and gratitude.

Almighty God, it is your great joy and desire to be glorified in the lives of your saints. You raised up your servant Gregory to be a light in the world, and to preach the Gospel to the people of Armenia. Shine, we pray, in our hearts, that we also in our generation may show forth your praise, who called us out of darkness into your marvelous light. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
