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 .
History [ edit ]
The denomination was started in 1998 as the Confederation of Reformed Evangelicals (CRE).[4] [5] It changed its name to the Confederation of Reformed Evangelical Churches in 2004,[6] and then, in 2011, to the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches.[7]
Doctrine [ edit ]
The Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches holds to classic Calvinism (as promulgated in the Westminster Standards , Three Forms of Unity , and 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith ), but on some doctrines in which Calvinists differ, (e.g., the Federal Vision , paedocommunion , and paedobaptism ) the CREC allows each church to decide its own stance.
The Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches allows member churches to hold to any of the following historic confessions:
The CREC rejects both modernism and fundamentalism .[9] It has published a number of "memorials", which among other things affirm Young Earth creationism , deprecate government schooling , and reject women serving in the military.[10] While non-partisan, CREC churches are “uniformly hostile to the leftist agenda”.[11]
Worship [ edit ]
Churches in CREC generally practise covenant renewal worship .[11]
