 Presbyterian Church in America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) is a Protestant denomination, the second largest Presbyterian church body in the United States after the Presbyterian Church (USA).
The PCA professes adherence to the traditional statements of Presbyterianism -- the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Shorter Catechism, and the Westminster Larger Catechism -- though it views them as subordinate to the Bible as the inspired word of God.
As a church with origins in that region, the PCA has its greatest concentration in the states of the Deep South, with more scattered strength in the South Atlantic, the upper Ohio Valley, and the Southwest.

 Planting the Presbyterian Church in America
"Presbyterian" was originally synonymous with "Puritan," because the term denoted the historical theory which Puritanism advanced in opposition to the current claims of episcopal authority.
At that time Presbyterianism was weak in Philadelphia, and it remained so until the great Scotch-Irish immigration poured Presbyterian-ism into the country and the preaching of George Whitefield gave a marked impetus to religious zeal.
From the accounts given by Church historians it appears that an energetic minority, only twelve in number, got control of the Synod, the membership of which was four times their number.

Of the numerous Presbyterian denominations in North America, the PCA is among the fastest growing.
The form of church government that we believe is most biblical is called "Presbyterian." This means that the local churches are governed by "presbyters," or elders, who are elected by the people.
The local churches also send commissioners - elders and ministers - to the highest court of the church, the "General Assembly." The assembly meets annually and enables all the churches to have a voice in guiding the spiritual and practical affairs of the entire denomination.

 PHS - Brief History of Presbyterian Church
Presbyterianism in a wide sense is the system of church government by representative assemblies called presbyteries, in opposition to government by bishops (episcopal system), or by congregations (congregationalism).
In its strict sense, Presbyterianism is the name given to one of the groups of ecclesiastical bodies that represent the features of Protestantism emphasized by French lawyer John Calvin (1509-1564), whose writings crystallized much of the Reformed thinking that came before him.
As the church began to realize that these functions were corporate in nature and as the century proceeded, it formed its own boards and agencies to address these needs at home and abroad.
