Churches Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church Presbyterian Denominations ChristianityChurchesThe Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church had its beginnings in the preaching of John Knox in Scotland. The Scottish Church became the official church of that nation in 1560. In 1688, King William III reorganized the Church of Scotland into the Established Presbyterian Church of Scotland. In reaction to conflicts with the crown, a pastor by the name of Ebenezer Erskine led a group of Christians in forming a separate Associate Presbytery in 1733 (from thence comes the first part of our name). Ten years later, another group of Christians who for years had suffered problems with the established church organized themselves into the Reformed Presbytery (from thence comes the second part of our name). Over the years the Associate Reformed Synod of the South changed its name, becoming in succession the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Synod of the South (1891), the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Synod (1913), and the General Synod of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, which it remains to this day.
