In particular, the relationship between Pastor Ferrari and the believers of Perugia was established and mediated by Andrea Suraci (who is now an elder of the church) since the fall of 2014. Reflecting with Pastor Ferrari, Andrea Suraci began sharing meditations on the Heidelberg Catechism and the Belgic Confession with other members of the core group. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa1ce0d07fa513530d661d9/1606605910706-8UZXGD8QCIDK6RPPY26M/IMG_0660.JPG Our History - In those first few months, the correspondence between Andrea Suraci and Andrea Ferrari over telephone and videoconferences was very rich and fruitful. Among the various topics addressed, they concentrated on Reformed ecclesiology and on the importance of recovering the sense and appreciation for the signs of the true church and the ordinary means of grace, that is, the faithful exposition of Scripture, the administration of the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper, in a context characterized by orderly care and pastoral formation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa1ce0d07fa513530d661d9/1606605410041-1M7PWFXZXYC480P8RP0Q/IMG_0006.JPG Our History In May 2015, Pastor Ferrari met the group in Perugia for the first time in person. Thus, through the consolation of the Word and the Spirit, the core group of the Reformed Church of Perugia begin to take their first steps. In the summer of 2015, the group of Perugians - in a letter of thanks to the Consistory of the Filadelfia Church of Milan - asked to be spiritually cared for and this request led to the shared decision that the group can participate in the divine services of the Philadelphia church via videoconference. In September the group began collecting donations and thinking about a visit to the church in Milan. On December 5-7 of 2015, some members of the Perugia core group spent a weekend with the Filadelfia Church in Milan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa1ce0d07fa513530d661d9/1606605523929-R4L9K5PP2SFIIP9LVF9H/IMG_5983.JPG Our History Following the visit and the core group’s desire to become members of the Filadelfia Church of Milan in order to participate in the sacraments, we began to think together about the possibility of organizing a conference in Perugia in April 2016 so that all Perugians could be all present to make a public profession of faith. Consequently, Pastor Ferrari continued to visit the Perugia group every three months and - as Andrea Suraci wrote on March 19, 2016 - "with each visit, personal affection grows more and more." During the conference in Perugia, we were encouraged by a visit from the United Reformed Churches of North America (URCNA) Foreign Mission Coordinator, Rev. Richard Bout. In addition to rejoicing in the ministry of the Word and the communion of saints, we were encouraged by the profession of faith of the core group members from Perugia, who became - pro tempore – members of the Filadelfia Church of Milan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa1ce0d07fa513530d661d9/1606605632209-VJUMMYMR1DDPK47BSGM4/IMG_0182.JPG Our History In order to care for the saints in Perugia in person, Pastor Ferrari spent ten weeks laboring in Perugia during the summer of 2017. At the same time, Pastor Michael Brown of Christ United Reformed Church in San Diego, California took care of the saints in Milan. For both of them, the aim was to get acquainted with the saints in these two fields. Eventually, with the advice from the URCNA, it was decided that Pastor Ferrari should pastor and establish the core group in Perugia as Minister of Word and Sacrament while Pastor Brown should pastor the iladelfia Church of Milan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa1ce0d07fa513530d661d9/1606606012937-EF1I2WI1HS0JT0W5WZGY/PHOTO-2019-09-08-19-21-32.jpg Our History - On May 13, 2018, Pastor Ferrari and his wife, Cristina, began their preparations to take up this new call. On June 6, 2018, they arrived in the small village of Mugnano, which is halfway between Lake Trasimeno and the City of Perugia. Since then, the Reformed Church of Perugia has been steadily growing in an area where the gospel is needed so badly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa1ce0d07fa513530d661d9/1606606121570-OQAVW2ZL56TR94DZYZOP/PHOTO-2020-02-23-22-09-05.jpg Our History - In February 2020, the Reformed Church of Perugia relocated closer to the city center. With the gracious efforts and gifts from our sister churches in the URCNA, the Lord has provided a place we can hear the gospel and taste and see that He is good. https://www.missionperugia.org/our-people daily 0.75 2020-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa1ce0d07fa513530d661d9/1605654655401-0P5AXIHBPISBHL87GIKE/pastore.jpg Our People - Rev. Andrea Ferrari Pastor Andrea Ferrari was ordained Minister of the Word and of the Sacraments in 1992. After a degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from the Italian Biblical Institute of the Assemblies of God in Italy, he obtained a Masters in Historical Theology from Evangelical Theological College of Wales with a research on the doctrine of Scripture by Giovanni Diodati. Later, he completed the degree course in Philosophy at the University of Milan, writing a thesis on John Calvin’s moral philosophy and theological ethics. After serving two churches in Sicily (1992-2002), Pastor Ferrari served the Filadelfia Reformed Church in Milan for sixteen years, receiving ordination in January 2010 as Minister of the Word and Sacraments in the United Reformed Churches of North America (URCNA). Subsequently, the Consistory of Christ United Reformed Church in Santee, California called him to be a pastor / missionary with the task of founding and organizing the Reformed Church of Perugia. In June 2018, he began his work as Pastor of the Reformed Church of Perugia. Andrea and his wife Cristina got married in 1992 and together they raised two children: Simone and Daniele. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa1ce0d07fa513530d661d9/1605654688906-3TIJGR6AQVT5KDTXFOJE/anziano.jpg Our People - Elder Andrea Suraci Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
