THE SEVENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE WORLD REFORMED FELLOWSHIP
Christ Above All
Reformed Life in a Post-Christian Era
October 28 to 30, 2026
General Theme for the Assembly
Christ Above All: Reformed Life in a Post-Christian Era
The Seventh General Assembly of the World Reformed Fellowship will gather under the theme “Christ Above All: Reformed Life in a Post-Christian Era.” This theme expresses the WRF’s conviction that Jesus Christ remains sovereign over every sphere of life and that the global Reformed church is called to faithful worship, witness, and service under His lordship.
While much of the world has never been Christian in a historical or civilizational sense, the cultural influence of the modern West has spread post-Christian assumptions across the globe through education, media, technology, economics, and public life. In many places, the church now ministers in societies shaped by secularism, fragmentation, moral confusion, and resistance to transcendent truth. Yet the confession of the church remains unchanged: Christ is above all, Lord of all, and sufficient for all.
The Assembly will consider how Reformed churches can live faithfully in this context by drawing deeply from three enduring wellsprings of Christian life and witness: Scripture, prayer and spiritual disciplines, and missional commitment. These are not merely programmatic emphases but gifts of God through which the Spirit forms, renews, and sends His people into the world.
The Three Wellsprings
Scripture
The Word of God is the wellspring of truth, authority, wisdom, and direction for the people of God. In every age, the church must be reformed and renewed by the living voice of God in Holy Scripture.
Prayer and Spiritual Disciplines
Prayer and the spiritual disciplines are the wellspring of communion with the living Christ, forming His people in humility, holiness, dependence, and perseverance.
Missional Commitment
The church’s mission is the wellspring of outward witness and service, as Christ sends His people into the world to proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and serve the nations in His name.
Together, these wellsprings call the global Reformed family to renewed faithfulness as we seek to live, worship, and bear witness under the lordship of Jesus Christ.
Dates & Venue
October 28–30, 2026 | Seoul, South Korea
The Seventh General Assembly of the World Reformed Fellowship will be held in Seoul, South Korea, from Wednesday, October 28, to Friday, October 30, 2026.
The Assembly will be hosted by SaRang Church in partnership with the Presbyterian Church in Korea (Hapdong). All General Assembly worship services, plenary sessions, panels, seminars, business sessions, and other official activities will take place in the outstanding facilities of SaRang Church.
The Assembly will begin with an Opening Worship Service at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 28, and will conclude with a Closing Worship Service at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, October 30.
Hosting the Assembly in Korea reflects the WRF’s commitment to strengthening fellowship with the Korean Reformed Church while fostering deeper unity, theological reflection, and partnership throughout the global Reformed community. It is our hope that the global Reformed family will be blessed by the theological vitality, prayerful devotion, and missionary commitment of the Korean church, and that the Korean church will likewise be encouraged through fellowship with brothers and sisters from around the world.
Venue
SaRang Church
Seoul, South Korea
Additional information regarding transportation, recommended hotels, and local arrangements will be made available through the General Assembly registration materials.
Speakers
The program is being designed around the Assembly theme, “Christ Above All: Reformed Life in a Post-Christian Era,” and its three daily emphases: Scripture, prayer and spiritual disciplines, and missional commitment. Each day will include worship and preaching, plenary teaching, and opportunities for reflection, conversation, and fellowship.
The Assembly is expected to include contributions from leaders representing the WRF, the Korean hosts, and the wider global Reformed fellowship, including preaching and plenary sessions related to:
- The centrality of Scripture in Reformed life and witness
- Expository preaching and proclamation in the contemporary world
- Prayer, spiritual disciplines, and communion with Christ
- Mission, discipleship, and global Reformed partnership
- The witness of the Korean church and the ongoing ministry of SaRang Church
- The future direction of the World Reformed Fellowship
