History
In 1994, a group of churches split from Presbyterian Church in America, due to a disagreement between the churches of one of the presbyteries regarding the use of images of Christ.[1] These churches formed the American Reformation Presbyterian Church (IPRA).[2]
The denomination grew and started missionary work in Myanmar.[4][5]
However, in the following years, most of the churches that formed the denomination returned to Presbyterian Church in America, became independent or joined another denomination.
In 1997, only First Presbyterian Church of Rowlett remained in the denomination. This church changed its name to Faith Reformed Presbyterian Church in 2006
