The "mother" church of the RPCUS was Chalcedon Presbyterian Church (currently located in [[Cumming, Georgia]]), which left the [[Presbyterian Church in America]] to become the first member of the new denomination. Chalcedon Church, first pastored by Joe Morecraft now pastored by Tim Price, was joined in 1987 by Covenant Presbyterian Church, which grew out of a [[Reformed]] Bible study group held in [[Buford, Georgia]]. The study group had been partially under the headship of the Rev. Wayne Rogers; Covenant Church is led today by the Rev. Christopher B. Strevel. |
