ABOUT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH:

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is a community of more than one million people united by faith in Jesus Christ and the authority of Scripture. For over 400 years, Presbyterians have followed Christ’s call to share the Good News and bear witness to God’s saving love in the world. We believe salvation is a gracious gift from God, not something we earn, and all believers—clergy and laypeople alike—are called to serve and share that hope.

​

Rooted in the Reformed tradition shaped by John Calvin, Presbyterians affirm the sovereignty of God and a faith that calls us to service, justice, generosity, and faithful stewardship. Our life together is ordered so that leadership is shared among ministers, elders, and deacons, reflecting our belief that God calls all people to participate in the work of the church.

​

Guided by the Holy Spirit, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) continues to serve Christ through communities of faith, hope, love, and witness—seeking to live out the gospel in today’s world while remaining grounded in historic confessions of faith that shape who we are and how we live​
