Assessment
First Presbyterian Church at Unionville, New York is a small Bible Presbyterian Church congregation in the Great Lakes Presbytery, led by Pastor Douglas J. Douma — a published Reformed theologian who has written extensively on Gordon Clark. The combination of a serious published theologian in a small-town pulpit is unusually rich for a small-denomination congregation. BPC male-only ordination and Westminster Standards align with MOOP's biblical-design rubric. Small green-rated option for the Upstate NY area.
