The Presbyterian Church of the Reformation of Colombia (PCRC) - in Spanish Iglesia Presbiteriana de La Reforma de Colombia - is a Protestant reformed denomination, founded in Colombia in 1996 by Colombian believers who adhered to the Reformed Faith. As of 2005, the group is supported by missionaries from the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.[2][3][4]
In 1996, a group of Colombian believers adhered to the Presbyterian doctrine. Instead of merging the existing Presbyterian denominations, they preferred to found a new denomination which was named Presbyterian Church of the Reformation of Colombia (PCRC). In 2005, the group contacted the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The US denomination sent missionaries to the country and went on to help the new Colombian denomination.[5]
As of 2020, the denomination comprised a total of 250 members, in 9 churches and missionary congregations, spread across Sincelejo, Sapuyes, Pasto, Barranquilla, Bogotá and Tuquerres.[2][3][1][6]
