Who We Are
A people shaped by faith, relationship, and hope.
Presbyterians belong to widening circles of theological identity and relationship: Reformed, Protestant, and Christian.
Presbyterian is a way of being Reformed, which is one way of being Protestant, which is itself a way of being Christian.
Presbyterians have a distinctive form of church government, or polity, in which the authority to make decisions is lodged not in individuals but in groups known as councils.
These councils are made up of ministers and elected members of congregations known as ruling elders. The word “Presbyterian” comes from the Greek word for “elder.”
Our Tradition
Rooted in the
Reformed tradition.
Our Presbyterian identity connects us to centuries of Christian thought, worship, representative leadership, and service to the wider world.

Faith in Action
Faith calls us toward justice.
Presbyterians believe that Jesus Christ made it clear through his teachings that we have an ethical responsibility to engage in issues of social justice.
Our faith is not only something we practice within the walls of a church. It also calls us to look outward, listen to our neighbors, recognize injustice, and work toward a more whole and compassionate community.
“Persevering Toward Wholeness”
