The Orthodox Presbyterian Church is a conservative American Reformed Denomination. It was founded in 1936 by conservative members (e.g., John Gresham Machen) of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (PCUSA) who were strongly opposed to the pervasive Modernist theology during the 1930s. The Church attempts to preserve historic Calvinism within a Presbyterian structure. It is, however, more liberal than the Bible Presbyterian Church, who left the OPC in 1937.
