The information provided here
is a transcription of a ministerial directory found in the records
of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, General Synod, as gathered in
Box 337, folder 38 at the PCA Historical Center. New information,
as it becomes available, will be entered in green italics. The official
R.P. Church Archives were destroyed in a fire in Duanesburg, NY in
December of 1951. Consequently, most of what remains to record the
history of that denomination is located here at the PCA Historical
Center. If you have documents from or additional information about
the R.P. General Synod denomination, we would appreciate your contacting
us. Corrections and additions to the lists below are most welcome.
