Southeast Protestant Reformed Church is a member church of the denomination of Protestant Reformed Churches in America. The denomination was formed in 1924 following a controversy with the Christian Reformed Churches over common grace. The denomination now numbers 28 churches in the United States and Canada. A sister church relationship exists with the Evangelical Reformed Churches in Singapore and mission fields exist in Spokane, WA, Pittsburg, PA, North Ireland, Ghana, West Africa, and the Philippines. Southeast Protestant Reformed Church was established in 1944 and has survived a doctrinal controversy in 1953 and a church polity controversy in 1962. This church along with the other churches in the denomination believe all the books of the Old and of the New Testaments to be the Word of God and confess as the true expression of their faith the Thirty-seven Articles of the Confession of the Reformed Churches of the Netherlands, formulated by the Synod of 1618-1619, together with the Heidelberg Catechism and the Canons of the Dordrecht Synod against the Remonstrants(Arminians).
