Colombia
Founded in 1856 through efforts of our predecessor denomination, the Presbyterian Church in the U.S., the Presbyterian Church of Colombia/Iglesia Presbiteriana de Colombia (IPC) was the first protestant church established in Colombia, and the first Presbyterian mission in Latin America. We have been engaged in God’s mission in Colombia for over 165 years.
From the beginning, education has been a major focus of Presbyterian ministry in Colombia. The IPC also speaks and acts to promote lasting peace and overcome a legacy of militarism after generations of internal armed conflict in Colombia. Young Adult Volunteers come alongside the IPC in various ministries, often serving with the church’s most vulnerable communities. The IPC’s foundation for diaconal service, PAZOS, works to eradicate systemic poverty. The women’s ministry engages actively with other civil society organizations to promote gender justice. Each of the IPC’s three presbyteries has a unique approach to building congregational vitality.
The Iglesia Presbiteriana de Colombia is comprised of three presbyteries in northern and central Colombia. Its mission focuses on education, evangelism, and service.
The Reformed University is an accredited institution of higher education operated by the Presbyterian Church of Colombia. Programs include theology, music, psychology, bilingual education, business administration, and environmental engineering.
