The Presbyterian Church is a main Protestant Christian denomination in the United States. It is part of the reformed family of Protestantism, descending from the branch of the Protestant Reformation by John Calvin. It is the largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. and was established by the 1983 merger of the former Presbyterian Church in the US whose churches were located in the southern and border states, and the United Presbyterian Church, whose congregations could be found in every state in the US. The unified body currently has approximately 2.3 million members, 11,100 congregations, and 14,000 ordained ministers.
