The Conservative Presbyterian Church in Brazil ({{lang-pt|the Igreja Presbiterianan Conservadora do Brazil}}) is a confessional Reformed denomination, founded in the mid-1900s.

History

The Conservative Presbyterian Church in Brazil was official organised in June 27, 1940 after a doctrinal schism in the Independent Presbyterian Church of Brazil, after two years of debate and internal discussion on doctrinal issues in the Second Independent Presbyterian Church of Sao Paulo and withdrew the federation to which it belonged and become the Conservative Presbyterian Church of Sao Paulo. The issue was the problem of eternal punishment. The issues of the separation was the Eternal punishment and the question of pure doctrine. In the next year the congregation published the reason of the separation. and adopted the name Conservative Presbyterian Church.[1][2] The first presbytery of the denomination consisted of 11 churches and 5 pastors or ministers.
