Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches


The Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, formerly the Confederation of Reformed Evangelical Churches, was founded in 1998 as a body of churches that hold to Reformed theology. Member churches include those from Presbyterian, Reformed, and Reformed Baptist backgrounds. The CREC has almost a hundred member churches in the United States, Canada, Japan, Russia, Hungary, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Belarus and Poland. These are organised into six presbyteries, named after figures in church history: Anselm, Athanasius, Augustine, Knox, Tyndale, and Wycliffe.
