Presbyterian Reformed Church of Mexico

Origin

Independent Presbyterian Church broke from the National Presbyterian Church in Mexico in 1947. A split occurred in the church in 1980s. Two presbyteries decided to maintain ties with the Christian Reformed Church in North America while the Synod voted to discontinue the relationship with the US denomination. The church is expanding with the help of the American missionaries - mainly with the Christian Reformed Church's missionaries - in the capital region and several other states.[1]

Theology and Seminary

The church has the John Calvin Theological Seminary and a Bible Institute in Mexico City.
