  Evangelical and Reformed Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Evangelical and Reformed Church was an American Protestant denomination formed in 1934 by the merger of the Reformed Church in the United States with the Evangelical Synod of North America.
The Evangelical Synod of North America (not to be confused with the Evangelical Church, which merged in 1946 with the United Brethren in Christ to form the Evangelical United Brethren Church) was founded in 1840 at Gravois Settlement, Mo., by a union of Reformed and Lutheran Christians.
The Evangelical and Reformed Church was presbyterian in organization, and its creed is the Heidelberg and Luther’s catechisms and the Augsburg Confession; great latitude in interpretation was allowed, however, with greater emphasis leaning toward deed rather than creed.
