of the denomination are in northeastern Kansas, central Indiana, and western Pennsylvania. The denomination sponsors Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania (all members of the Board of Corporators are required to be Reformed Presbyterians) and operates the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The denomination holds a week-long International Conference every four years; the most recent was held in July 2016 at Indiana Wesleyan University in Marion, Indiana. A denominational magazine, the Reformed Presbyterian Witness, is published monthly. Missions The RPCNA has sponsored missions in several different fields throughout the years. In North America, several different home missions were established among specific people: Jewish Missions were established by congregations in Philadelphia and Cincinnati. A Chinese Mission was run for a short time in Oakland, California. The Indian Mission, which worked primarily with members of the Comanche and Apache nations, was established in the countryside near Apache, Oklahoma, in 1889. A congregation that resulted from this mission existed until 1971. Several small Southern Missions were run throughout the South during and after the Civil War, mostly working with freed slaves. The last of these, established in Selma, Alabama in 1875, resulted in the establishment of a congregation still in existence. Several other missions were organized for foreign work: In 1847, a missionary was sent out to begin work in Port-au-Prince, Haïti. This mission was ended abruptly within two years when the missionary joined the Seventh Day Baptist Church. Missionaries were first sent to Syria in 1856. After a short exploratory period, several mission stations were organized in Latakia and the surrounding area. This mission was continued until the late 1950s, when Syrian governmental policies forced the RPCNA to cut its ties with the churches there. Work was begun in the area around Mersin, in Asia Minor, around 1882 and continued until around 1932. In 1888, work was begun in Cyprus, and congregations were established in Larnaca and Nicosia. Mission work continued until the 1970s. Today, a single congregation in Larnaca is affiliated with the RPCNA and is pastored by an RPCNA missionary, but is not related to the previous mission. Missionaries were first sent to the town of Tak Hing, in South China, in 1895. This mission proved to be quite fruitful, resulting in over eight hundred members by the early 1940s. However, with the communist revolution in 1949, the mission was closed. A mission was begun in Qiqihar, Manchuria,
