OPC Resources

Here you will find helpful resources to sustain your ministry.

OPC

The Orthodox Presbyterian Church was founded on June 11, 1936, in the aftermath of the fundamentalist-modernist controversy, under the leadership of J. Gresham Machen (longtime professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, who also founded Westminster Theological Seminary in 1929). With the infiltration of theological liberalism, the mainline Presbyterian Church in the USA had departed from historic Christianity, including the rejection of doctrines such as the inspiration and authority of Scripture, the virgin birth of Christ, and the substitutionary atonement. Originally calling itself the Presbyterian Church of America, the young church was forced by the threat of a lawsuit to change its name in 1939, and it adopted the name Orthodox Presbyterian Church.

Presbytery of the Southwest OPC

The Presbytery of the Southwest was formed in 1986 out of the Presbytery of the Dakotas. The Presbytery is made up of all the Orthodox Presbyterian churches in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma (except for the Bartlesville congregation). There are currently 17 congregations and mission works in this region.
