Chile
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) traces the
beginning of its involvement in Chile to 1845, with the arrival
of missionary David Trumbell. As in most of Latin America, one
of the principal obstacles to the growth of Protestant churches
has been the connection between the Roman Catholic Church and
the state. Our partner churches throughout
their history have struggled to grow and minister in the midst
of outward challenges and internal divisions.
The PC(USA) engages with our Chilean partners
in ministry through mission
personnel, social advocacy, community development and theological
education.
