Being Presbyterian means belonging to a Christian tradition that emphasizes faith, grace, and shared leadership. The word "Presbyterian" comes from the Greek presbyteros, meaning elder, which reflects our form of church government. A Church Led by Elders Rather than being led by a single person, Presbyterian congregations are governed by a group of elected elders, both ministers and laypeople. These elders serve on the session (local church leadership) and work alongside regional governing bodies called presbyteries, synods, and the General Assembly to make decisions in a connectional and democratic way. Rooted in Reformed Theology Presbyterians are part of the Reformed tradition, which emphasizes: The Sovereignty of God – God is in control of all things. Salvation by Grace – We are saved by God's grace, not by our own efforts. The Authority of Scripture – The Bible is the foundation of faith and practice. Faith in Action – Our faith calls us to serve others and seek justice in the world. Commitment to Learning Presbyterians value education and thoughtful faith. Our church offers Bible studies and small groups, to help members grow spiritually.

Unity Rooted in our reformed heritage, we celebrate diversity by engaging in shared mission to reflect Christ’s call to oneness. (John 17:21) Hospitality We welcome all with open hearts and doors, as Christ welcomes us. (Romans 15:7) Belonging Grounded in our faith identity, we embrace others where they are, fostering a culture of inclusion and respect (Galatians 3:28). Active Grace We provide space for renewal and growth, supporting both individuals and partners in their calling and mission. (Colossians 3:12-14) Purposeful Partnership We build vital partnerships to live out our mission with integrity and collaboration. (Ecclesiastes 4:9) Faithful Stewardship Caring for creation, we responsibly manage God’s gifts and resources for future generations and the environment. (Genesis 2:15)

Our faith is aligned with that of PCUSA. The Book of Confessions is a reference book containing what Presbyterians believe. The statement below is a brief statement of faith from the Book of Confessions. In life and in death we belong to God. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and serve. We trust in Jesus Christ, Fully human, fully God. Jesus proclaimed the reign of God: preaching good news to the poor and release to the captives, teaching by word and deed and blessing the children, healing the sick and binding up the brokenhearted, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel. Unjustly condemned for blasphemy and sedition, Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the world. God raised this Jesus from the dead, vindicating his sinless life, breaking the power of sin and evil, delivering us from death to life eternal. We trust in God, whom Jesus called Abba, Father. In sovereign love God created the world good and makes everyone equally in God’s image male and female, of every race and people, to live as one community. But we rebel against God; we hide from our Creator. Ignoring God’s commandments, we violate the image of God in others and ourselves, accept lies as truth, exploit neighbor and nature, and threaten death to the planet entrusted to our care. We deserve God’s condemnation. Yet God acts with justice and mercy to redeem creation. In everlasting love, the God of Abraham and Sarah chose a covenant people to bless all families of the earth. Hearing their cry, God delivered the children of Israel from the house of bondage. Loving us still, God makes us heirs with Christ of the covenant. Like a mother who will not forsake her nursing child, like a father who runs to welcome the prodigal home, God is faithful still. We trust in God the Holy Spirit, everywhere the giver and renewer of life. The Spirit justifies us by grace through faith, sets us free to accept ourselves and to love God and neighbor, and binds us together with all believers in the one body of Christ, the Church. The same Spirit who inspired the prophets and apostles rules our faith and life in Christ through Scripture, engages us through the Word proclaimed, claims us in the waters of baptism, feeds us with the bread of life and the cup of salvation, and calls women and men to all ministries of the church. In a broken and fearful world the Spirit gives us courage to pray without ceasing, to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior, to unmask idolatries in Church and culture, to hear the voices of peoples long silenced, and to work with others for justice, freedom, and peace. In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to live holy and joyful lives, even as we watch for God’s new heaven and new earth, praying, “Come, Lord Jesus!” With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
