The Orthodox Presbyterian Church of New Zealand was a Christian denomination formed in New Zealand in the 1960s. It was organized by George Wallace, who led it as a breakoff of the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand because he felt that the church had adopted too much liberal theology.
George Wallace was later fundamental in the formation of Grace Presbyterian Church of New Zealand.

“If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack,
You may get a bland smile from these sages;
But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!”

Shuts its outer door,
Lest the roar of traffic
Drown the voice of prayer:
May our prayers, Lord, make us
Ten times more aware
That the world we banish
Is our Christian care.”
