The Union of Free Evangelical Churches in France or the Union des Eglises evangeliques libres de France is a Reformed Christian denomination founded in September 1, 1849. Most churches were previously independent, which grew out of the revival between 1820 and 1830. A few were Reformed which left the Protestant State Church because of doctrinal confusion. In 1939 a split occurred and a number of congregations joined the Reformed Church in France.[1]

In 2004, it had 4,000 members and 54 congregations. The Apostles Creed and Nicene Creed are the standards. It has semi-Synodal church government. There are women ordinations.[2]
