The Church formed in the year 1918, through the unification of the Protestant churches of the Lutheran and Reformed confessions, which were permitted only after the harsh counter-reformation movement, which lasted from 1620 until the issuing of the Edict of Toleration in 1781. However, the ECCB has deeper roots in the Czech reformation: in the Utraquist Hussite Church (1431-1620) and in the Unity of Brethren (Moravian) Church (1457-1620). The ECCB has about 120,000 members in more than 250 local congregations, which are broken down into 14 seniorates (presbyteries) throughout the Czech Republic.
