8. ↑ "Question & Answer: Should we Observe Lent?". Orthodox Presbyterian Church. Iliwekwa mnamo 10 Aprili 2022. Those inheriting a Reformed theology (which would include the OPC) have adopted the stance that the church is only to practice in worship what the Bible actually establishes, often called the 'regulative principle of worship.' Many in the Reformed tradition would exclude the practice of Lent on this basis—it lacks scriptural warrant.{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: date auto-translated (link)

In most Baptist churches, Lent is non-existent, and Advent is merely the 'pre-Christmas' wind-up.
