The Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church (CRPC) - is a Presbyterian denomination, formed in 1997, by churches that separate from the Presbyterian Church in America, for defending the theonomy.

History

In 1997, a group of churches split from Presbyterian Church in America and formed the Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church. The main cause of their separation was the defense of theonomy by these churches.

A church in Suriname, originally Baptist and later linked to Orthodox Presbyterian Church, joined the denomination after its organization.

In 2006, one of its churches split from the denomination and formed the Westminster Presbyterian Church in the United States.

Attempt to merge

In 2004 the IPRP held a joint meeting with the Reformed Presbyterian Church - Hanover Presbytery, another conservative denomination in United States, aiming at a union.. However, conflicts over the government of the denomination by a higher court and the Hanover Presbytery's tolerance for members to participate in Freemasonry prevented the union.

Doctrine

The denomination subscribes to Westminster Confession of Faith, Westminster Larger Catechism and Westminster Shorter Catechism. It differs from other Presbyterians only in its defense of theonomy.
