The Christian Presbyterian Church (CPC) was a Presbyterian denomination formed in 1991 under the leadership of Rev. Dr. John E. Kim, by churches that separated from the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRC) when it started to allow women's ordination.

In 1995, the founding pastor returned to South Korea, the denomination ceased to exist, and most of its churches merged into the Presbyterian Church in America.

Meanwhile, part of their churches formed the Korean Evangelical Presbyterian Church in America in 1997.
