Lutheran and Reformed Church

Some assignments such as religious education, diaconia, and women’s and youth work concern both the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession and the Evangelical Church of the Helvetian Confession. For these fields of work, the Evangelical Church A.C. and the Evangelical Church H.C. have joint forces. Roughly 16,000 members in 9 parishes belong to the Reformed Church of Austria (according to the census of 2001 and own census).
