Calvary Costa Mesa is the originator and organizer for Creation Fest 2014. See http://creationfest.org.u/default.asp; The Creation Fest website says the CF is a member of the ecumenical organization The Evangelical Alliance http://www.eauk.org/, which “Works across 79 denominations, 3,300 churches, 750 organizations” in the UK [WikiData] At this event CCCM will be directly partnering with Catholics, Anglicans, etc.
