About CPN

What is the PC(USA) Cuba Partners Network?

We are an organization of the Presbyterian Church (USA), including those congregations and presbyteries of other US reformed denominations who are seeking to explore partnership with or are in partnership with the Presbyterian-Reformed Church in Cuba.

Founded over thirty years ago by member congregations, the Network has a long and rich history of encouraging and supporting vital partnerships between Presbyterian Reformed denominations, primarily the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) and the Presbyterian-Reformed Church of Cuba (IPRC).

We encourage thoughtful consideration, conversation, prayer and reflection on the relationships between our churches, our governments and our peoples. PC(USA) in the United States and IPRC in Cuba continue to teach each other what it means to encourage each other to follow Christ in our homes and where we live, work and play. We sincerely invite you to consider joining us in this response to what we discern as God’s calling to us.

Working Together

The Network works closely with PC(USA) World Mission and has worked with mission co-workers in the region, including Jo Ella Holman, Regional Liaison for Cuba and the Caribbean and co-workers David Cortes-Fuentes and Josey Saez-Acevedo, who have taught at the Matanzas Evangelical Theological Seminary.

Recent Developments
Ever-changing diplomatic relations between the US and Cuba have brought into focus a renewed purpose for the Network. With these changes come both new blessings and new challenges. We believe that perhaps now, more than ever, we have a prophetic calling to walk with our brothers and sisters in the churches in Cuba.

¡Bienvenidos!
