JESUS CHRIST IS HEAD OF THE CHURCH

Christ calls the Church into being, giving it all that is necessary for its mission in the world, for its sanctification, and for its service to God. Christ is present with the Church in both Spirit and Word. Christ alone rules, calls, teaches, and uses the Church as he wills.

Christ gives to the Church its faith and life, its unity and mission, its order and discipline. Scripture teaches us of Christ's will for the Church, which is to be obeyed. In the worship and service of God and the government of the church, matters are to be ordered according to the Word by reason and sound judgement, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 

-From The PCUSA Book of Order

 

THE CALLING OF THE CHURCH

The Church is to be a community of faith, entrusting itself to God alone, even at the risk of losing its life.

The Church is to be a community of hope, rejoicing in the sure and certain knowledge that, in Christ, God is making a new creation. This new creation is a new beginning for human life and for all things. The Church lives in the present on the strength of that promised new creation. 

The Church is to be a community of love, where sin is forgiven, reconciliation is accomplished, and the dividing walls of hostility are torn down. 

The Church is to be a community of witness, pointing beyond itself through word and work to the good news of God's transforming grace in Christ Jesus its Lord.

-From The PCUSA Book of Order

 

What Presbyterians Believe

Presbyterianism stresses the importance of God's sovereignty, the Scriptures' authority, and the necessity of grace through faith in Christ. In the PCUSA's Book of Confessions, we record our beliefs as a church.
