The '''Presbyterian Church in America''' is the [[conservative]] Calvinist American church of the Presbyterian family.  It is considered to be a [[Reformed Churches|Reformed Denomination]].

The PCA was formed by a merger of the the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (UPCUSA) and the Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS) in 1983, which occurred when the mainline Presbyterian Church became too [[liberal]]. The PCA professes adherence to the [[Westminster Standards]] and is strongly influenced by [[Fundamentalism]]. Overall, it is generally more liberal than the [[Orthodox Presbyterian Church]], although the two denominations enjoy good fraternal relations and share many similarities in doctrine and worship.
