Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) or PC (USA) is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination in the United States. It is part of the Reformed family of Protestantism, descending from the branch of the Protestant Reformation over which John Calvin had a strong, early influence. It is the largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. and was established by the 1983 merger of the former Presbyterian Church in the United States, whose churches were located in the Southern and border states, and the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, whose congregations could be found in every state. The reunited denomination is the most visible and influential Presbyterian denomination in North America and currently has approximately 2.3 million members, 10,900 congregations[1] and 14,000 ordained ministers. Denominational offices are located in Louisville, Kentucky.
