About Us

The World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) and the Reformed Ecumenical Council (REC) have merged to form a new body representing more than 80 million Reformed Christians worldwide. This united body is called the World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC). The historic Uniting General Council (UGC) that launched this new Reformed organization was held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, U.S.A., from June 16 to 26, 2010.

Plan for a Historic Union between the REC and the WARC
This remarkable move towards unity came from a series of decisions by each of the two founding bodies.

• A New Symbol has been created for the WCRC.

A Proposal for a Historic Union between the REC and the WARC
In 2005, the REC Assembly resolved to approach the World Alliance of Reformed Churches to propose a much closer relationship, that the REC become an "entity within" the WARC. Later in 2005, the WARC Executive Committee agreed to the idea but with some more far-reaching options. In January 2006, a joint committee of eight delegates proposed that the two organizations each disband and that the member churches together for a new organization, with the suggested name of the World Reformed Communion.
