GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - s4story -- The GTI Institute of GMNF Rebrands as Institute for Confessionally Reformed Faith and Practice

The GTI Institute of GMNF today officially announced its rebranding to the Institute for Confessionally Reformed Faith and Practice. This structural transformation includes the launch of the Center for Confessional Reformed Faith and Practice, which will serve as the core hub for the institute's research, resources, and theological engagement.

The newly named institute will dedicate its efforts to examining historic Reformed confessions and analyzing their theological impact across the broader Christian landscape, including Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and various branches of Protestantism. While maintaining a broad, ecumenical dialogue with these traditions, the institute will maintain a emphasis on the reformed confessions as well as position statements of the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA). This focus honors the theological work of the institute's founder, Anton Williams, who is a dedicated member of the CRCNA.

The institute emphasizes that Reformed theology is not solely defined by its distinctives within the confessions. Rather, it encompasses essential doctrines that impact all Christians, rooted in the foundational unity outlined in Ephesians 4: "one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." Through this lens, the institute highlights how God unites all believers with Himself across traditional boundaries.

"The Bible itself refers to systematic theology when it mentions the form of doctrine—its structure, not simply doctrine itself—as seen in Romans 6:17 and 2 Timothy 1:13," stated Anton Williams, Founder of the Institute. "Our goal is to explore these deep doctrinal frameworks to serve and build up the global body of Christ."

The Institute for Confessionally Reformed Faith and Practice aims to bridge historical doctrinal standards with contemporary ministry application, fostering robust theological scholarship for the global church.
