Reformed Presbyterian Church in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Reformed Presbyterian Church in the United States is a branch of Presbyterianism with seventy-four churches in the United States. The association was established in 1983, and subscribes to the Westminster Confession and believes in biblical inerrancy. Historically the denomination has also been associated with the Christian Reconstructionist movement.[1]
The first church in the RPCUS was Chalcedon Presbyterian Church (currently located in Cumming, Georgia), which left the Presbyterian Church of America to become the first member of the new denomination. Chalcedon, whose pastor remains Rev. Joe Morecraft III, was joined in 1987 by Covenant Presbyterian Church, which had been a reformed Bible study in Buford, Georgia, partially under the headship of Rev. Wayne Rogers, and led today by Rev. Christopher B. Strevel.
