The Reformed Presbyterian Church – Hanover Presbytery is a very conservative Reformed Denomination, with congregations in the United States and also in Brazil. When the Presbyterian Church in America joined with the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod in 1983, a group that decided not to go along with the union called themselves the Covenant Presbytery. By 1985 this presbytery had grown to four presbyteries and become the Reformed Presbyterian Church in the United States. In 1990 it changed its name to the RPC in the Americas. Within a year, the four presbyteries of this denomination were in conflict. One of these was Hanover Presbytery, which became a separate denomination.
