Presbyterian Church of Wales
- Presbyterian Church of Wales
The Presbyterian Church of Wales ( _cy. Eglwys Bresbyteraidd Cymru), also known as The Calvinistic Methodist Church ( _cy. "Yr Eglwys Fethodistaidd Galfinaidd"), is a denomination of Protestant Christianity. It was born out of the Welsh Methodist revival in the eighteenth century and seceded from the Church of England in 1811. It formally formed itself into a separate body in 1823 with the drawing up of its "Confession of faith". It is distinguished from the Methodism of John Wesley by the Calvinistic nature of its theology. For the history of the church, see "Calvinistic Methodists".
The Church offices are located at the Tabernacle Church, Merthyr Road, Whitchurch, Cardiff.
The current Moderator is Rev John Owen, Ruthin.
