Who We
Are?

The Pelita Harapan Educational Foundation (YPPH) in Indonesia and Reformed Theological Seminary (RTS) in the United States believe that Reformed theology is Biblical theology.

Reformed theology does come from the time of the Protestant Reformation but YPPH and RTS believe that Reformed theology is merely a return to Biblical theology.

Together YPPH and RTS through the Center for Reformed Theology (CRT) teach and promote the Word of God summarized in the Reformed Confessions throughout Indonesia and to the world.
