    The Church Divides

    A serious breach in the Bible Presbyterian Church occurred in 1956. The issues had to do with the kind of agencies the church would have-synod-controlled vs. independent agencies.

  • The Confession of 67

    The Church adopted a new Confession of Faith in 1967. As a result, the church today has lost about 40% of its members.

  • Future division

    The 48th General Synod held in 1984 saw a further sad parting of ways as Dr. Carl Mclntire led 16 other commissioners to walk out and hold separate synod meetings at another location. Although this group represented only a small percentage of the churches, Dr. Mcintire claimed this was the true synod, Efforts at reconciliation proved fruitless and the majority continued the work of the church until there were apologies and a reuniting in the synod of 2001, meeting in Tacoma, WA.

  • Where they are now

    The church continues to grow to this day and is actively getting new members every year in their continuing to build more churches around the US
