Reformation Presbyterian Church, Australian Presbytery

The Reformation Presbyterian Church consists of one Presbytery with churches located mainly in Australia. The great desire of the RPCAP is, with the Lord’s help, to be biblically maximal in carrying out the commission Christ gave his disciples in Matthew 28:16-20. By “biblically maximal”, we mean striving not to allow any precept in the Word of God fall to the ground because of expediency, compromise with the world, the fear of man, or self-preservation. We look to God for the strength to submit entirely to his judgments and make use of every means he has given for his kingdom to flourish.
