"Although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men unexcusable; yet are they not sufficient to give that knowledge of God, and of His will, which is necessary unto salvation. Therefore it pleased the Lord, at sundry times, and in divers manners, to reveal Himself, and to declare that His will unto His Church; and afterwards for the better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the Church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan and of the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing; which makes the Holy Scripture to be most necessary; those former ways of God's revealing His will unto His people being now ceased."
-The Westminster Confession

"The LORD is my portion; I promise to keep your words. I entreat your favor with all my heart; be gracious unto me according to your promise. When I think on my ways, I turn my feet to your testimonies; I hasten and do not delay to keep your commandments. Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law. At midnight I rise to praise you, because of your righteous rules. I am a companion of all who fear you, of those who keep your precepts. The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love; teach me your statutes!"
-Psalm 119: 57-64 (ESV)

Welcome to the Reformed Underground!

We are a group of college-aged men and women who, in the tradition of the Reformers, want to see the good news of Jesus Christ spread throughout our campus, our community, and the world in such a way that it reflects the true, inerrant teaching of the Word of God. It is our goal to accomplish this by teaching and encouraging young men to study, expound, and apply the Word to their lives and by reaching those who do not know the Lord with the wonderful Truth of the Gospel- that God became man, died on the cross for our justification, arose from the dead that we may one day rise, and dwells within all of His followers in the form of the Holy Spirit Who works in them their sanctification. We also want to encourage young men to get involved in ministry in local churches, on campus, and at home.

Primarily, we accept the Reformed theological tradition, as it is the most accurate statement of biblical theology. Included in this are what may be called the "solas":

Sola Scriptura: Scripture alone is the standard for Christian belief. (Psalm 119:18; Psalm 138:2; II Tim. 3:14-17)

Soli Deo Gloria: All of life is to be lived for the glory of God alone. (1CO 10:31; 1PE 4:11; REV 1:6; 2PE 3:1; EPH 3:21; REV 7:12; ROM 11:36)

Solo Christo: By Christ's work alone are we saved. (1TI 2:5-6; COL 1:13-18)

Sola Gratia: Salvation is by grace alone. (Ephesians 1:3-8)

Sola Fide: Justification is by faith alone. (Galatians 3:6-11)


Opportunities to get involved in our group (as of the time this is being written) include:
-a weekly, in-depth Bible study (Thursdays at 8:30 PM in Kleist chapel)
-the Dead Preacher's Society (Sundays at 8:30 PM at Seth Ellis's home)
-multiple opportunities throughout the semester for campus/local ministry
-spontaneous fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ

Come and take part in helping us glorify God by spreading the truth of His Word!

Grace and Peace,
Lucas
