Canons of Dordt Index

The Canons of Dordt are often referred to as the Doctrines of Grace, or sometimes as the Five Points of Calvinism. They're best known by the acronym TULIP (Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, all of which culminate in the Perseverance of the saints).

​

In 2025, we're using the Canons of Dordt as our roadmap for reading the Bible together each weekday. We'll follow the actual order they come in (ULTIP). This year, every Friday we'll be reading from the Psalms!

​

Join us in 2025 as we learn that God's grace is stronger than we are.
