About Us
The 5 Sola Association was born out of the desire of several pastors and ministers to meet a real need in the evangelical churches of Romania: the need for clear theological teaching anchored in Scripture.
United around the principles of the Reformation — the five “solas” — we seek to equip believers, to support local churches, and to promote the faithful proclamation of the gospel. Through conferences, resources, and theological initiatives, we labor to form a generation anchored in the Word of God.
We began in 2022 with a theological camp on “The Five Solas of the Reformation,” and since 2023 we have consistently held a national conference, a regional conference, and a conference for the Romanian diaspora each year.
We equip believers and strengthen the local church through faithful biblical teaching.
Through conferences, resources, and theological initiatives, we serve local churches and promote the faithful proclamation of the gospel in Romania and in the diaspora.
A generation doctrinally formed, anchored in Scripture, and devoted to the clear proclamation of the gospel.
We long to see the church revived through a return to the essential truths of the Christian faith, able to meet the challenges of our day with courage and wisdom.
