Assessment

Greenville ARP Church is a historic Associate Reformed Presbyterian congregation in downtown Greenville, South Carolina, led by Rev. Todd Matocha. His credentials are impressive for a small-denomination pastor: a Master of Theology from the University of Chester in England (thesis on Cyril of Alexandria's contributions to classical Christology), on top of seminary training at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary (2005). He previously pastored in Cardiff, Wales. The church operates a day school and has an established men's ministry. The ARP is a small confessional Presbyterian denomination holding the Westminster Standards with historically male-only ordination — which aligns with MOOP's biblical-design rubric. This is a straightforwardly green-rated orthodox Reformed congregation.
