  • Grace Presbyterian Church of New Zealand (GPCNZ) is a Presbyterian denomination in New Zealand which was formed in 2002. It currently consists of 11 churches and 7 mission churches, which are congregations in the process of becoming fully established churches. Many members of the GPCNZ are former members who left the largely liberal Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand (PCANZ) seeking a more theologically conservative alternative. In practice this means that the GPCNZ holds different views to the PCANZ on homosexuality and the ordination of women. The Grace Presbyterian Church describes itself as "Presbyterian in government, Reformed in theology, and Evangelical in spirit. " GPCNZ is in the process of forming formal links with the Reformed Churches of New Zealand, Presbyterian Church of Australia, and the Presbyterian Church in America. GPCNZ does not own its own theological college, but approved the Grace Theological College as the churches' official training institution in New Zealand.
