"The Reformed churches are a group of Christian Protestant denominations
historically related by a similar Zwinglian or Calvinist system of doctrine but
organisationally independent. Each nation in which the Reformed movement was originally
established had its own church government. Several of these local churches have expanded
to worldwide denominations and most have experienced splits into multiple denominations.
Commitment to teaching the original Calvinism usually continues to be reflected in their
official definitions of doctrine, but in some cases is no longer necessarily typical of
these churches. A 1999 survey found 746 Reformed denominations worldwide." [Wikipedia]
Note: many United / Uniting Churches have Presbyterian precursors.

International Conference of
Reformed Churches (ICRC)
"The ICRC is a conference of Reformed Churches around the world
held once every four years. The first preliminary meeting was held in 1982 in the
Netherlands with the Free Church of Scotland and the Reformed Churches in The Netherlands
(liberated) taking leading roles. Subsequent meetings have been held in Scotland (1985),
Canada (1989), The Netherlands (1993), Korea (1997), the USA (2001), and South Africa
(2005). The next conference will, the Lord willing, be held in New Zealand in 2009. The
purpose of the conference is: to express and promote the unity of faith that the member
churches have in Christ; to encourage the fullest ecclesiastical fellowship among the
member churches; to encourage cooperation among the member churches in the fulfillment of
the missionary and other mandates; to study the common problems and issues that confront
the member churches and to aim for recommendations with respect to these matters; to
present a Reformed testimony to the world." [from the website]- Reformed Ecumenical Council (REC)
"The Reformed Ecumenical Council is a council of Reformed and Presbyterian denominations from around the world. We have 41 members in 25 countries. We meet in an Assembly, which elects an Executive Committee, and the council is served by a Secretariat based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. For the story from our origins in 1946 to the present, see our history." [from the website]
- World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC)
"WARC links more than 75 million Christians in over 100 countries
around the world. It is a fellowship of more than 200 Congregational, Presbyterian,
Reformed and United churches with roots in the 16th-century Reformation led by John
Calvin, John Knox and others. Most of these churches live and witness in the southern
hemisphere; many are religious minorities in their countries. ... WARC is an
interdependent network of people and churches living, working and worshipping together
with faith in God's promise always to be with his creation. The gifts and talents of many
peoples and cultures make the Alliance a dynamic international community."
World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC)
The World Communion of Reformed Churches is a new international organization of churches. It will comprise the membership of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches and the Reformed Ecumenical Council and represent more than 80 million Reformed Christians worldwide. The historic Uniting General Council that launches the new World Communion of Reformed Churches will be held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, U.S.A., in June 2010.
The theme of the Uniting General Council will be "Unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace," from Ephesians 4. Under this theme, delegates will consider God's call to both communion and justice as they gather and study.
Religious communities of interest
- Iona Community
"Iona is a small island off the west coast of Scotland, where in
563 Columba founded a Celtic monastery that was very influential in its own times. In the
middle ages it was the site of a Benedictine abbey and over the centuries has attracted
many thousands of people on their own pilgrim journeys. The Iona Community, founded in
1938 by the Rev George MacLeod, then a parish minister in Glasgow is an ecumenical
Christian community that is committed to seeking new ways of living the Gospel in today's
world. Initially this purpose was expressed through the rebuilding of the monastic
quarters of the mediaeval abbey on Iona and pursued in mission and ministry throughout
Scotland and beyond. The Community today remains committed to: rebuilding the common
life, through working for social and political change, striving for the renewal of the
church with an ecumenical emphasis, and exploring new more inclusive approaches to
worship, all based on an integrated understanding of spirituality."
- Taizé Community
"An ecumenical, international community founded in 1940, in
Taizé, France, by Brother Roger. Today, the Taizé Community is made up of over a hundred
brothers, Catholics and from various Protestant backgrounds, coming from more than
twenty-five nations. By its very existence, the community is thus a concrete sign of
reconciliation between divided Christians and separated peoples. A week in Taizé is a way
of realising the intimate relationship between an experience of communion with God in
prayer and personal reflection on the one hand, and an experience of communion and
solidarity among peoples on the other."
Churches
- Associated Presbyterian Churches
(APC)
"We are a small denomination in Scotland and Canada, but through
God's grace, part of the universal Church of Jesus Christ. Our desire is to proclaim Jesus
as Lord, and to play our part with fellow believers in making known the Good News of
salvation through faith in Him... The Associated Presbyterian Churches, reformed and
evangelistic, came into being in 1989, following the perceived failure of the Free
Presbyterian Church of Scotland to put into practice two chapters of the Westminster
Confession of Faith, the Church's Subordinate Standard." [excerpted from the website]
- Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church
(General Synod)
"An American Presbyterian church with roots in the Free church
schisms in Scotland during the 18th century. Two bodies, the Associate and the Reformed
Presbytery were formed in the colonies and eventually merged to become the forerunner of
today's Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. A number of partial mergers with the
former United Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church USA have resulted in a small
church with nine Presbyteries in North America, the Presbytery of the Northeast
(Northeastern U.S. and Canada), Virginia Presbytery (Virginia and West Virginia), First
Presbytery (North Carolina), Catawba Presbytery (Eastern S.C.), Second Presbytery (Western
S.C. and Georgia), Florida Presbytery, Tennessee-Alabama Presbytery (Eastern Tennessee and
Alabama), Mississippi Valley Presbytery (Arkansas, Missouri, Western Tennessee, Kentucky,
and Mississippi), and Pacific Presbytery (Washington, Oregon, and California)."

- Bible Presbyterian Church
"A witness for Biblical Presbyterianism is preserved in this
church body. We believe in missions and evangelism. It is the good news of the gospel that
saves sinners. We believe all are lost and under the wrath of God and that all believers
are "ambassadors for Christ," (2 Corinthians 5:20) as spoken by the Apostle
Paul. ... We extend our hand of fellowship and cooperation to other Biblically separated
groups. We are a part of the American Council of Christian Churches, founded in 1941, as a
Biblical alternative to the National Council of Churches. We oppose the inclusivist
ecumenical movement that seeks to bring together all churches, whether liberal or
evangelical. We further believe it is wrong to make common cause with those who embrace
and encourage compromise with liberalism and ecumenism." [from the website] It should
be noted that the American Council of Churches is the fundamentalist counterpart to the National Association of
Evangelicals formed in 1942.
- Canadian and American Reformed Churches
A confederation of local churches primarily of Dutch extraction. This
group was established in 1950 of immigrants from the Netherlands bringing with them the
divisions between the many Dutch Reformed communities. This group represents the "Reformed Churches in the
Netherland (Liberated)."
"The first Canadian Reformed church was institued in Lethbridge, Alberta. It was soon
followed by churches in Edmonton, Neerlandia, Orangeville, New Westminster and elsewhere.
As the Canadian Reformed Churches move into the 21th century, they are continuing to
experience further growth and development. The number of local churches now numbers just
over 50, with an additional 2 house congregations. They are to be found in the provinces
of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario, as well as in the American states of
Washington, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Colorado." [from the website]
- Christian Pilgrim Churches (Gereja Gereja Masehi Musyafir), Indonesia
Christian Reformed Church in North
America (CRC)
"The Christian Reformed Church is a denomination that has about
300,000 members in 1,000 congregations across the United States and Canada. We call
ourselves:
• Christian because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers. We
recognize as fellow-Christians all people who accept the teachings of the Bible as
summarized in the Apostle's Creed.
• Reformed because we're part of that historic branch of the Christian church that
follows the teachings of 16th-century reformer John Calvin, who struggled to return
Christianity to its biblical roots.
• Church because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
• We often call ourselves 'the CRC' for short." [from the website]- Christian Reformed

- Church of Scotland
Reformed and Presbyterian, national but free - that in a nutshell is
the modern Church of Scotland. How it grew into its present shape is a story over 1500
years old. The Church of Scotland has had a pivotal role in Scottish society and world
religion over the past 500 years, with the church in Scotland dating back as far as 400
AD. The Church of Scotland's governing system is presbyterian in nature, which means the
organisation is run by a system of courts at local, district and national level rather
than by individuals. The Church of Scotland is one of the largest organisations in the
country. We have around 600,000 members, with many thousands more regularly involved in
local congregations and our work. More than 100,000 children and young people also take
part in a range of our church-based activities, led by a team of 15,000 volunteers. Within
the organisation, we have around 1400 ministers serving in parishes and chaplainces,
supported by over 2000 professional and administrative staff. [snips from the website]

African-American Denomination with 8,049 members, 100 congregations, 16 presbyteries, four
synods, 157 ordained ministers, 32 licentiates, and 16 probationers. The Cumberland
Presbyterian Church in America is the first African-American denomination to embrace and
continues to embrace Presbyterianism in the Reformed Tradition. Organized May 1869 in the
Henderson Convention held in Murfreesboro, Tennessee by the white Cumberland Presbyterian
Church General Assembly. The first General Assembly of this denomination was
constituted in Nashville, Tennessee, on May 1, 1874." [from the website]
- Dutch Reformed
Church in South Africa
"The DRC in South Africa was established on the arrival of Jan
Van Riebeeck in South Africa in 1652. The V.O.C. (Dutch East India Company) sought to
establish a refreshment station halfway on the long trip to the East. The V.O.C. had a
commercial set-up in mind; however the settlers who were to establish the port, founded
the church at the same time. The first pastor to arrive in Tablebay (Cape Town) was Rev
Joannes Van Arckel (1665). The Rev van Arckel began to organise a congregation to
represent the church in the Netherlands. Two e1ders were chosen and the minister and the
elders signed the articles of faith. These articles of faith were the Heidelberg
Cathechism, the Dutch Confession of Faith (Confessio Belgica) and the Canons of Dordt
(1618-1619); and so the first congregation in South Africa was established. Today, there
are 1260 congregations of the DRC in South Africa cared for by 2021 pastors, comprising
approximately 1,29 million members who have been organized in 11 Synods." [from the

- Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC)
"In 1981, the 1st General Assembly convened with 75 delegates
representing 12 churches. When the Second General Assembly met nine months later, more
than 120 elders and ministers registered as commissioners. Before the decade of the
80's ended, an impressive growth in member congregations took place. Churches in
Argentina formed a presbytery and joined us in 1987. By the mid-90's, 56 missionaries
represented the EPC throughout the world. Because we believe that God uses a variety of
ways to draw people to himself, many of these missionaries serve through missions agencies
other than our own with EPC support. Our global mission plan focuses on planting,
developing, and nurturing the Church. We believe that God created the Evangelical
Presbyterian Church to be a significant part of his plan for the renewal of believers and
for witness to those outside the faith. It is our conviction that, like the ancient Queen
Esther, God has brought us together for such a time as this. Today, the EPC has over
70,000 active members in some 190 congregations. Beside eight presbyteries in the US , the
St. Andrews Presbytery encompasses the state of Buenos Aires, Argentina." [from the

- Evangelical Presbyterian Church
of Ireland
"The Evangelical Presbyterian Church is a Bible-believing
Presbyterian body, committed to the Westminster Standards, concerned for the preaching
& teaching of God's Word and for the honour & holiness of God in worship. A
number of our Churches have been in existence since 1927/8 when our denomination was
formed following a secession from the Irish Presbyterian Church because of false teaching
in its College that went undisciplined. We believe in the necessity of the new-birth, to
be born-again, for entrance into the Kingdom of God. Membership of the Evangelical
Presbyterian Church is on the basis of a credible profession of faith in Jesus
Christ." [from the website]

Ländern sind im Reformierten Weltbund
zusammengeschlossen. Die Zahl der Christinnen und Christen mit reformiertem Bekenntnis
wird auf rund 75 Millionen geschätzt."- Free Church of Scotland
"The Free Church of Scotland is an Evangelical, Presbyterian
Church. The main emphasis of our worship is the preaching of the gospel -- the good news
of a free and sovereign salvation through Jesus Christ alone. The Free Church is
represented throughout most of Scotland, has a congregation in London, several
congregations in North America and sister Churches founded by mission work in India, Peru
and South Africa." [from the website]
- Evangelical Presbyterian Church
of Canada
"Our desire as a congregation of the church of Jesus Christ in
Toronto is to worship God as He commands; teach the historic Christian truth presented in
the Bible and proclaimed by the Reformation; witness to the Lord Jesus as our only
saviour; and, with the Holy Spirit's help, live lives that increasingly conform to God's
will as expressed in the Ten Commandments. We are part of the North American Synod of the Free Church of Scotland. Other Free
Church congregations in North America are located in the Canadian province of Prince
Edward Island and also in Livonia, Michigan, USA." [from the website]
- Free Church of Scotland
(Continuing)
"The Free Church has continued down until the present day. At the
Commission of Assembly in January 2000 a division occurred because a majority was
determined to act in a way that was against the constitution or 'rule book' of the church,
which all office-bearers must uphold. A number of ministers and elders signed a
'Declaration of Reconstitution' in which they pledged themselves to continue the Free
Church in a constitutional manner. They are the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing). We
use this title to distinguish, solely for the purposes of administration, the
reconstituted Free Church of Scotland from any residual body claiming that title. We
remain the Free Church of Scotland." [from the website]
- Free Presbyterian Church
"The Free in our name refers to our total dissociation from the
major Presbyterian denominations of the world, which have largely repudiated the historic
Christian faith. We have no affiliation with the World Council of Churches or any of its
international, national, or local organizations. Thus Free speaks of our liberty to stand
without compromise for Christ in a day of apostasy. Many evangelicals have stayed in
apostate churches. Others have separated but have not made any strong protest against the
betrayal of the gospel by apostates and by the compromise of those evangelicals who have
put denominational loyalty before obedience to the Biblical command to separate. We view
our freedom as liberty to stand resolutely for Christ, to defend the gospel, to oppose
apostasy and compromise, and to urge God's people to cease all fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness. For us freedom is freedom to be holy, observing both
personal and ecclesiastical separation unto the Lord." [from the website]
- Free Presbyterian Church of
Scotland
"The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland is a direct descendant
of the historic Church of Scotland. When doctrinal liberalism and religious doubt overcame
the Presbyterian churches in the 19th century, we took up a separate position in 1893 to
preserve the Church of Scotland of the Reformation, and to maintain Reformed doctrine,
worship and practice. We have established a number of congregations in other countries and
we have an extensive mission in Zimbabwe." [from the website]

Known for its motto "In essentials, unity; in nonessentials,
liberty; in all things, love" the Moravian Church, or Unitas Fratrum, is a Protestant
Church dating from the 15th century in Moravia (present day Czech Republic) some 60 years
before Martin Luther. John Hus, a Czech reformer, is credited with founding the community,
although its modern form dates to the German Count Nicholas von Zinzendorf. The Moravians
have had a larger impact on Christianity than their numbers indicate. Their pietist
spirituality was a strong influence on John Wesley, and their foreign missions programme
has worked cooperatively with numerous Protestant churches for centuries. Theologically
situated somewhere between Lutherans and Methodists, Moravians prefer not to be
confrontational about their doctrinal commitments. Moravians have maintained the historic
episcopacy within a presbyterian system of government.

The OPC was established in 1936 as a response to perceived liberalism

Seminary that saw the creation of Westminster Seminary in 1929. The OPC teaches
creationism, ordains men only to the offices of ruling elder and minister. Although
associated with the rise of fundamentalism in the early 20th century U.S., the OPC has
followed its early theologian J. Gresham Machen in not taking a position on the

institution. It is a merger of two web sites, presbyterian and presbycan;
one formal church documents and the latter a discussion forum and gathering place. Both

Established in 1945. "In 1989, initial meetings were held to
discuss starting a relationship between the Synod of Saskatchewan of the Presbyterian
Church and the Saskatoon Presbytery of the United Church in order to run the summer
camping programs. At that time the United Church needed a more appropriate site for
camping and the Presbyterian Church needed more campers to make full use of the Camp
Christopher site.
From then on the summer programs at Camp Christopher were planned and run jointly by the
two denominations. The United Church was asked to send representatives to the Synod Camp
Committee and to have representatives on the Leadership & Program Committee, and
volunteers and staff were actively recruited from both denominations. The Presbyterians
remained owners and were responsible for the development of the property, and the
denominations shared the expenses of the summer program." [from the website]
