Orthodox Presbyterian Church of New Zealand

The Orthodox Presbyterian Church of New Zealand was a Christian denomination formed in New Zealand in the 1960s. It was organized by George Wallace, who lead it as a breakoff of the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand because he felt that the church had adopted too much liberal theology.
