RefCal’s APPROACH
A fellowship of pastors, elders, church officers, and men training for ministry who are committed to learning the doctrine and practice of the Reformed confessions through pastoral friendships, fraternals, workshops, readings, conferences, and publications. This fellowship will create the context for cooperation among pastors and between churches, without replacing other ecclesiastical connections, denominations, or groups.
THE MEANS
REGIONAL FRATERNALS
Regular gatherings where pastors meet to fellowship, pray for one another and read through great books together for discussion and sharpening.
CONFERENCES
Both specific to RefCal, as well as meeting alongside others, like Banner of Truth West Coast.
REGIONAL WORKSHOPS
Continuing education with scholars and speakers on important issues of doctrine and practice for pastoral ministry.
RETREATS FOR PASTORS AND WIVES
Regular encouragement for endurance and faithfulness in ministry together.
ONLINE CALLS
Discussions for sharing best practices and counsel, as well as inviting speakers to address important topics or questions.
