The Reformed Presbyterian Church in North East India (RPCNEI) was established in 1835 by American missionaries like Rev. James R. Campbell. He started work in Saharanpur. In 1907, Rev. Watkins R. Robert wentto Mizoram. It was officially organised in 1979 with seven households, the first denomination of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in North East India. It had 4,200 members and 50 congregations in 2004. It now[when?] has 14,038 members and more than 107 congregations in North East India in Manipur, Assam, Mizoram, Tripura, Meghalaya. There is a growing church planting ministry in Myanmar.[1]
