Thus the RPCGA was formed. Today, there are 11 congregations in this denomination. | In 1983, a few churches in the North Georgia Presbytery of the [[Presbyterian Church in America]] withdrew from the denomination over purity of doctrine and ecclesiastical practices, calling themselves Covenant Presbytery.
