REFORMED COLLOQUIUM
21–23 April 2026 | Budapest
THE BEAUTY OF CHRIST
We warmly invite all pastors, elders, theological educators, students and wives to our 2026 Colloquium.
This year our theme is ‘The Beauty of Christ’. As Martin Bucer wrote, “All that we could ever say about Jesus falls infinitely short of His matchless worth. He is pure, unspotted beauty!” There is no greater pursuit than to contemplate—and so be transformed by—the glorious beauty of Christ.
We hope you will join us for three heartwarming days of worship, fellowship and teaching in the beautiful city of Budapest.
