In 2009, the Presbyterian Agency for Transcultural Missions of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil began missionary work in Montevideo in Uruguay. In 2014 the church was officially organized, and that same year it founded a congregation in Mercedes. The church has a seminary to train its own workers and ordains Uruguayan priests and deacons.
