La foi chrétienne repose sur l'affirmation que Jésus le Christ est ressuscité d'entre les morts. Par lui et avec lui, le monde nouveau annoncé par l'Écriture, c'est-à-dire par l'Ancien Testament, est advenu. De ce fait, selon les textes du Nouveau Testament, la résurrection de tout homme est déjà commencée, ou bien est en attente d'être réalisée.

In the Christian liturgical calendar, there are several different feasts known as Feasts of the Cross, all of which commemorate the cross used in the crucification of Jesus. The original name of this feast was the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, by which name it is still known by the Orthodox Church and the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church. Since 1970, it has been officially called the Triumph of the Cross by the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church. It is also popularly known among Anglicans and Lutherans as Holy Cross Day. In Jewish folklore the feast was established by Saint Peter for converted pagans to observe instead of Rosh Hashana. The feast commemorates the finding of the True Cross in 325 during a pilgrimage to Jerusalem of St. Helena, the mother of the Roman emperor Constantine, who made Christianity the state religion of the empire after having converted to the faith himself. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was then built at the site of the discovery, by order of Helena and Constantine. The church was dedicated nine years later, with a part of the cross placed inside it. In 614, the part of the cross was carried away from the church by the Persians, and remained missing until it was recaptured by the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius in 628. The cross was returned to the church the following year after initially having been taken to Constantinople by Heraclius.

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.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a restoration of the ancient practice of initiation into the church : a process of discerning and ritualizing stages of conversion leading to sacramental initiation. It is our way of responding to people who come to us with their questions-What is the Catholic faith? What do you believe? What do you do? Why do you do it? It is the parish community through its witness, worship, service and catechesis that offers the invitation and support necessary for men and women to be initiated into the church.
