What Do Presbyterians Believe? |
![]()
Like other Christians, we believe in God, Father and Creator; Jesus Christ, his son, our Savior, and Lord of all; and the Holy Spirit, who indwells, guides, and comforts us. We believe in the one Church, Christ’s body in every time and place; the good news of grace that God forgives sin as we accept the work of Jesus; and abundant life through his resurrection to enjoy and serve God forever.
We are guided by confessions: the common creeds of the church (Apostles’ Creed and Nicene Creed), Reformed Creeds and Catechisms, and our modern statements of faith. These interpret the Bible, which is the foundation of our faith.
We hold that we are saved "by faith only, by God’s grace only, through scripture only."
Our sacraments are baptism, for infants and adults, and the Lord’s Supper, which is open to all baptized Christians.
Our churches are governed by elders ("presbyter" is the Greek word for elder) elected to the session.
Our congregations are "in connection" for mission, support, and discipline in a Presbytery, a representative body that consists of elders and pastors.
