Peru Partner Churches and Organizations

In 1995 two Presbyterian Churches came together to form the Evangelical Presbyterian and Reformed Church in Peru (IEPRP). The former Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Peru was begun by the Free Church of Scotland missionaries, including John MacKay, and ministered primarily to the mestizo population of Peru's North Coast and Lima. The former National Presbyterian Church of Peru was begun by North American Presbyterians and primarily evangelized the Quechua-speaking indigenous peoples of the Ayacucho and Huancavelica regions. The IEPRP is working to train more pastors; currently there are only 17 ordained ministers with seminary training for its 40,000 members. The relationship between the Evangelical Reformed Presbyterian Church of Peru and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) takes place primarily through short-term mission groups that have partnered with churches in the Peruvian cities of Iquitos, Moyobamba, Lima, Trujillo, Arequipa, Ayacucho and Puerto Maldonado.

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) works in Peru primarily through a network of Christian grassroots organizations that are supported by programs of the One Great Hour of Sharing, such as the Self-Development of People program and the Presbyterian Hunger Program. The grassroots organizations have joined with the Presbyterian Hunger Program's "Joining Hands Against Hunger" initiative to help increase their own effectiveness in the fight against hunger and to help educate North American Presbyterians about the causes of Peruvian hunger and how to overcome them. In 2006–2007 PC(USA) Young Adult Volunteers served in a variety of ministries through the Joining Hands Against Hunger network

The PC(USA) has begun a relationship with another denomination with a strong Reformed heritage, the Evangelical Church of Peru (IEP). The IEP is one of the earliest Protestant (Evangelical) churches in Peru.  Early in the 20th century it took on the theology and form of government of the Presbyterian Church while never formally coming under the governance of any missionary governing body from outside Peru.

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) also partners with a national ecumenical network called Joining Hands. Joining Hands has been sponsored by the Presbyterian Hunger Program.  Thank Offering allocations by Presbyterian Women have gone to support the fair trade program related to the work of Joining Hands.
