Presbyterianism arrived in Africa in the 19th century through the work of Scottish missionaries and founded churches such as [[St Michael and All Angels Church, Blantyre, Malawi]]. The church has grown extensively and now has a presence in at least 23 countries in the region.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.presbyterianmission.org/ministries/global/africa/ |publisher= PC(USA) |title= Worldwide Ministries, Africa |access-date= 7 December 2012 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130815182043/http://www.presbyterianmission.org/ministries/global/africa/ |archive-date= 15 August 2013  }}</ref>

African Presbyterian churches often incorporate diaconal ministries, including social services, emergency relief, and the operation of mission hospitals. A number of partnerships exist between presbyteries in Africa and the PC(USA), including specific connections with Lesotho, Cameroon, Malawi, South Africa, Ghana and Zambia. For example, the Lackawanna Presbytery, located in Northeastern Pennsylvania, has a partnership with a presbytery in Ghana. Also the Southminster Presbyterian Church, located near Pittsburgh, has partnerships with churches in Malawi and Kenya. The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria, western Africa is also active in mostly the southern states of this nation with strong density in the south-eastern states. [[Hope Masterton Waddell|Hope Waddel]]'s missionary expedition in the mid 19th century, and later [[Mary Slessor]]'s work in coastal regions of the then British colony has brought about the church in these areas.
