The name of our Church is The Reformed Church of Québec (RCQ), otherwise known as "L'Église Réformée du Québec" (E.R.Q.). It is a Christian church, founded on faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of the world. The Reformed Church of Québec is a Church recognised as such by other Christian churches. We are not a sect, pretending to be the sole holders of the truth, nor do we claim to be closer to God than other Christians. We share with all other Christians a common inheritance of which we are proud. Our specific identity is that of being Reformed, which we are descendants of the Church Reformation that took place in the 16th century in most European countries. Moreover, the Lord's Church is in constant need of reforming its faith and actions in the light of the Bible.
