Assessment
Reformation Bible Church in Melbourne, FL is a Reformed Baptist, father-led, family-integrated congregation committed to the sufficiency of Scripture and the glory of God. Their motto — 'By the Gospel and for King Jesus… We Build. We Fight. We Conquer' — signals a militant, Christendom-oriented posture that aligns with the Right Response Ministries vision. The father-led structure is explicitly patriarchal (GREEN on gender — not merely complementarian). Family integrated services with potluck fellowship suggest a tight-knit covenant community. Friend Michael Pflugrad is connected through the Right Response Ministries Christendom cohort of 2025. This is the kind of church the MOOP directory was built to highlight.
