You can add the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) to the list of those parting ways with PCUSA.

They aren’t in NAPARC because they accept women’s ordination to the eldership. They are more generic evangelicals than Reformed.

The EPC recently made a big mistake -- in my humble opinion -- of voting to have pastoresses. Imho this is the slippery slope down to lesbian married pastoresses. I base that statement on looking at what's happened to every denomination that has ordained priestesses, pastoresses etc in the past couple of decades -- take the ECUSA, the ELCA, etc. etc. I really cannot understand why the EPC would go down this same path when it is so clearly shown that it is a mistake

they have no excuse of trying something new -- this is something that has been tried and failed.

The PCA at least stopped the deaconnesses, which would have been the pre-step before they got pastoresses -- its better to nip these things in the bud
