Discovering what it means to be Presbyterian leads us to talk about the Biblical and theological foundations of our faith.
The History of the Presbyterian Church The roots of the Presbyterian Church trace back to John Calvin, a 16th-century French reformer. |
Presbyterians are part of the Reformed Tradition.
'Presbyterians confess their beliefs through statements that have been adopted over the years and are contained in The Book of Confessions. These statements reflect our understanding of God and what God expects of us at different times in history, but all are faithful to the fundamental beliefs described above. Even though we share these common beliefs, Presbyterians understand that God alone is lord of the conscience, and it is up to each individual to understand what these principles mean in his or her life.'---from the Presbyterian Mission Agency of PCUSA
