'''Wakalvini''' ni [[Wakristo]] [[Waprotestanti]] wanaofuata kimsingi mafundisho yaliyotolewa awali na [[Uldrik Zwingli]] na hasa [[John Calvin]] katika [[karne ya 16]].

Tofauti na Luther, Zwingli na Calvin walijaribu moja kwa moja kujenga [[kanisa]] jipya kwenye msingi wa [[Biblia]]. 

Hawakupenda kuchukua [[urithi]] wowote wa [[Kanisa Katoliki]], wakaunda kila kitu upya kufuatana na jinsi walivyoelewa Biblia. 

Katika [[utawala]] walikataa [[cheo]] cha [[uaskofu]] wakaona kanisa liongozwe na [[Mzee|wazee]] wa kuchaguliwa. Kutokana na neno wazee katika [[lugha]] ya [[Agano Jipya]] ([[Kigiriki]]) "presbyuteroi", kanisa lake linaitwa pia la "Wapresbiteri". 

Wafuasi wao huitwa pia "Wareformati" (to reform = kutengeneza upya). Maana yake walikataa [[desturi]] zote wasizoziona katika Biblia, wakati Luther alizikubali zile alizoziona hazipingi Biblia.

Katika [[ibada]] zao, Wareformati wanakataa [[altari]], [[picha]] za kupamba kanisa au kuimba [[liturujia]], wakati ibada ya Kilutheri ni [[Misa]] ya Kikatoliki iliyobadilishwa kufuatana na mawazo ya Luther. Katika jambo hilo hawakupatana na ndiyo sababu kwa muda mrefu Walutheri na Wareformati walishindwa kuwa na ibada za pamoja, lakini siku hizi wanaelewana.

Mafundisho hayo kutoka Uswisi yalienea katika nchi kama [[Ufaransa]], [[Uskoti]] na [[Uholanzi]]. Hata [[Wamoravia]] walichukua sehemu ya mafundisho ya Wareformati, hasa juu ya [[Chakula cha Bwana]], wakimfuata Luther katika mambo mengine. 

[[Afrika Kusini]] urithi wa kidini wa [[Makaburu]] ni wa Kireformati kwa sababu [[babu]] zao walitokea Uholanzi na Ufaransa. 

Vilevile ni [[wamisionari]] kutoka Uswisi na Uskoti walioanzisha mapema makanisa ya Kipresbiteri [[Malawi]], [[Kenya]] na [[Afrika Magharibi]].

Kadiri ya asili, [[madhehebu]] yao yanaitwa kwa [[Kiingereza]] [[Reformed]], [[Congregationalists]] au [[Presbyterians]].

Leo yana jumla ya waamini zaidi ya milioni 80, wengi wao wakiwa wameunganika katika "[[World Communion of Reformed Churches]]".
