THE ASSOCIATE REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church had its beginnings in the Church of Scotland in the 1500's. Due largely to controversy over an ever increasing state control of the church, a pastor by the name of Ebenezer Erskine led a group of Christians in forming a separate Associate Presbytery in 1733 (from thence comes the first part of our name). Ten years later another group organized themselves into the Reformed Presbytery. Both churches spread to Northern Ireland and North America. Formal union talks between the "Associates" and the "Reformed" began in 1777 and, in 1782, the Associate Reformed Synod came to be in Philadelphia. The Canadian Presbytery, of which we are a member, has churches in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.
TRINITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Trinity Presbyterian Church is a Congregation of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, the oldest Presbyterian denomination in North America and one of the early components of Presbyterian and Reformed witness in Canada. We are committed to the truth of the Old and New Testament Scriptures in all their reality and veracity. Our subscription to the teaching of Scripture is expressed and formulated in the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, which we join the historic Church in approving as founded upon and in accordance with the Word of God, our primary standard and only infallible rule of faith and life.
