The Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), formerly the Confederation of Reformed Evangelical Churches,^[1] was founded in 1998 as a body of churches that hold to Reformed (Calvinistic) theology.^[2] Member churches include those from Presbyterian, Reformed, and Reformed Baptist backgrounds. The CREC has over a hundred member churches in the United States, Canada, Japan, Russia, Hungary, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Belarus, Poland, Brazil, Jersey, and the Czech Republic.^[3] These are organised into nine presbyteries, named after figures in church history: Anselm, Athanasius, Augustine, Bucer, Hus, Knox, Kuyper, Tyndale, and Wycliffe.
