The Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (ARPC) is a Protestant denomination that originated in the 18th century in Scotland. It was formed from a merger of the Associate Presbytery and the Reformed Presbyterian Church, emphasizing a commitment to the teachings of the Bible and the principles of the Reformation. The ARPC is known for its adherence to the Westminster Confession of Faith. The church is governed by a system of Presbyterian polity, which means it is led by elected elders and ministers. The ARPC focuses on evangelism, education, and community service, aiming to spread the message of Christianity while fostering spiritual growth among its members.
