About First Ipc Presbytery of the United Kingdom

The First IPC Presbytery of the United Kingdom serves as the governance and resource hub for English-speaking International Presbyterian Church (IPC) congregations across the UK. Grounded in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Reformed Presbyterian tradition, its mission advances doctrinal fidelity, nurtures existing churches, plants new ones, supports pastors and elders, and fosters theological education for future leaders. The Presbytery emphasises accountability, mutual collaboration, and expanding Reformed witness through transparent Presbyterian polity. Its funding character is exclusively focused on advancing Reformed Christianity, providing financial support for activities that align with its confessional identity.

What First Ipc Presbytery of the United Kingdom funds

The Presbytery funds activities that advance Reformed Christianity, including operational costs for member congregations, church planting, pastoral stipends, hardship relief for ministers, and theological training such as seminaries or conferences. Support is directed to small to medium-sized local congregations and ministries across the UK. The work supported is strictly within the Reformed Presbyterian tradition, aiming to nurture existing churches and establish new ones.

Who can apply

Eligibility is limited to UK-based IPC member congregations or closely affiliated entities that are doctrinally aligned with the Reformed Presbyterian tradition.
