Reformed ministries ?” I asked . “ Are there Calvinists in Savannah ?” Outside of those in the PCA , I was told , Calvinism was unknown .
Today the Coastal Empire Reformed Fellowship consists of about two dozen churches . Expository preaching is practiced in a number of the popular non-Presbyterian churches . Most surprising , Calvinists abound . Between the six new PCA churches and ten Calvinistic non-Presbyterian churches , a total of 16 Reformed churches are now in greater Savannah . Perhaps we can say that our ministry has had a positive leavening impact on Savannah-area Christianity . We see considerably more serious preaching and considerably more Reformed , that is , biblical thinking than was the case 30 years ago . For this we can be thankful and build upon as we look to the future .
