OPC (Orthodox Presbyterian Church)

The Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC) is a conservative Protestant denomination in the Reformed tradition, founded in 1936 in the United States. It emphasizes the authority of the Bible, the sovereignty of God, and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. The OPC follows a Presbyterian form of governance, where church leaders are elected and decisions are made collectively. It seeks to preserve traditional Christian teachings and to promote spiritual growth through worship, education, and community service. The OPC is known for its doctrinally rigorous approach, holding to the Westminster Confession of Faith as a key statement of belief.
