An Invitation to Rest in His Merciful Heart

 At Reform, one of the keys of reformation is trust. We cannot rely solely upon ourselves for our physical and spiritual healing. Without Christ, we can do nothing!

The more we rely on Jesus—the more we trust in His willingness and ability to heal us, inside and out—the more we let go of our need to control and hand everything over to Christ—the more we will receive in return.

We invite you to reclaim your well-being in, with, and through Christ, so He can make us whole and holy through His merciful Love.

“I desire mercy, not sacrifice.”

— Mt 9:13
