There are at least two Presbyterian denominations in Mexico. There is the National Presbyterian Church, and the Conservative Presbyterian Church. The National Presbyterian Church has had some relation with the PCA, but they have also had some significant struggles with liberalism. The Conservative Presbyterian Church, from the adherents I have met, seems to be Presbyterian only in procedure, not in doctrine (though that could have been a peculiarity of the congregation they were from, and not a characteristic of the whole denomination). I don't have a lot of personal acquaintance with them, but I think the church service I probably enjoyed most in the whole of my life was at a National Presbyterian Church (Berith) in Mexico City (Coyoacan). The pastor is Gerald Nyndhuis (I am not sure of the spelling), and he preached a very interesting message from Acts 28. They sang some great hymns I had never heard before, and only the pastor and one ruling elder spoke with me and my friends as we were going out (and I had a particular question to ask him).
