This article explores how the Presbyterian Church in Colombia forged its own identity as a Reformed church, maintaining characteristics and adopting changes in its identity and mission. This presentation is given through bibliographic and documentary research and an analysis in the formation of the actors and communities, their practices, imaginaries and representations. It places special emphasis on the role played by missionaries, the formation of local leadership, the character of Presbyterian women and the regional expression of Presbyterianism, in the identity that Colombian Presbyterianism forged, in an environment of religious confrontation and resistance.

Keywords : Protestantism; Presbyterian Church; Missionary; Religious persecution; Liberation Theology.
