Uniting General Council

Unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace
June 18-28, 2010 | Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA

The World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC) brings together 80 million Reformed Christians worldwide - united in a commitment to making a difference on the big issues of our day - climate change, human rights, economic justice and helping our neighbours of all faiths.

Its 230 member churches in 108 countries are Congregational, Presbyterian, Reformed and United churches with roots in the 16th-century Reformation led by John Calvin, John Knox and others. WCRC has its secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland.

Renewed and Reformed
WCRC was born through an historic merger of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) and the Reformed Ecumenical Council (REC) in June 2010. Delegates meeting June 18-28 in Grand Rapids, United States, launched a landmark effort to unite Christians for common witness and service to the world.
