Our Beliefs
Source: PC(USA).org
Some of the principles articulated by John Calvin remain at the
core of Presbyterian beliefs. Among these are the sovereignty of
God, the authority of the scripture, justification by grace through
faith and the priesthood of all believers. What they mean is that
God is the supreme authority throughout the universe. Our knowledge
of God and God's purpose for humanity comes from the Bible,
particularly what is revealed in the New Testament through the life
of Jesus Christ. Our salvation (justification) through Jesus is
God's generous gift to us and not the result of our own
accomplishments. It is everyone's job - ministers and lay people
alike - to share this Good News with the whole world. That is also
why the Presbyterian church is governed at all levels by a
combination of clergy and laity, men and women alike.
