The Evangelical Reformed Church (Westminster Confession) is a small Calvinist denomination with 5 congregations [1] in Austria and in Switzerland. It is in part a fruit of the missionary work of the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Liberated). In 1984, the first congregation was established in Neuhofen an der Krems, Austria.[1] In 1998, a congregation was founded in Rankweil,[2] followed later at Winterthur in 2005, at Basel in 2008, and at the bilingual (German and English) Vienna congregation New City Wien in 2009 [3] was started with the help of World Harvest Mission/Serge.[4] Total membership is around 150. Some churches in the denomination receive financial support from the Dutch organization SSRO.[5] The Westminster Confession (1647) is the doctrinal basis of the denomination, together with the Heidelberg Catechism.[6][7]
