During the Middle Ages, the church worked tirelessly to establish a community of faith. Benedict, Columba, and Francis organized communities where the Gospel could be preached. Theodulf, Anselm, and Bernard of Clairvaux responded to the call for reform and reshaped both the community and theology. However, as church leaders strayed from the authority of Scripture, a first wave of reformers emerged, including Peter Waldo, John Wycliffe, and John Hus, who tirelessly called God's people back to the grace of God.

This was a church that aspired to reign, love, and conquer, seeking freedom and proclaiming the Gospel. When corruption infiltrated the church, it initiated its reform. Surprisingly, all these denominations represent the medieval church! In this, we can find hope in the God who loves His church and desires for us to live in His name.
