The Church of Pharexia (Pharexian: Kirkja hins af Fharheckx, Astellian: Séipéal n-Oileán naofa, Valian: церковь страны), officially the Reykjavík Church of Pharexia, commonly abbreviated KHF, is the largest Ilyçisian Church in Pharexia and is the officially-established church in the country. The church is headquartered in Breíddalsvík, the capitol city of Pharexia, and has established congregations througout Pharexia. According to the church, it has over 1.5 million members, which accounts for nearly 60% of Pharexian citizens.

The Church professes the reformed branch of Ilyçisianism and is the largest reformed Ilyçisian church in the world by net membership. It is lead by twenty-one Ministers, with one presiding over each canton of Pharexia. One of the Ministers serves as Provost (Pharexian: presturprimē) of the Church. The current Provost is Brynjar Finnsson.

The Church is universally known for its rather unique approach to scripture.

Teachings and practices

Reykjavík theology argues that interpreting Ilyçisian scripture must be informed by scholarship (particularly from psychological, evolutionary, and existential perspectives). Perhaps the largest distinction is that most Reykjavík do not profess a belief in a celestial being. Rather, Reykjavíkians believe that theism has lost credibility as a valid conception of God's true nature. Such a belief is commonly referred to as Ilyçisian atheism. Ilyçisian atheism is a form of cultural Ilyçisianism and ethics system drawing its beliefs and practices from Addindr’s life and teachings as recorded in the Endurreisn Heimsins and other sources, whilst rejecting supernatural claims of Ilyçisianism. In 2005, the book Believing in a God Who Does Not Exist: Manifesto of An Atheist Minister, Reykjavíkian pastor Hendrikse describes that Reykjavík Ilyçisians believe "God is for me not a being but a word for what can happen between people. Someone says to you, for example, 'I will not abandon you', and then makes those words come true. It would be perfectly alright to call that [relationship] God". Hendrikse's views are widely shared among both clergy and church members. Some–especially Sólheimaka Ilyçisians–view the Reykjavíkian denomination as distinct enough from traditional Ilyçisianism so as to form a new religious tradition, although the KHF rejects this claim.

Social principles

The social positions held by the Church of Pharexia have long had a strong influence on government policy.

The Church has never condemned same-sex marriages and has been conducting them since its establishment in the mid-1600's.

The Church opposes most abortion procedures. They opposed the 2006 Devolution of Abortion Act and supported the 2016 Right to Life Act.
