What Does It Mean To Be A Presbyterian?

In the New Testament, "presbuteros" means elder, and refers to the democratic custom of choosing leaders and advisors from among the wisest members, both men and women, of the church. Presbyterians are a group of Protestants whose church is founded on this concept of democratic rule under the Word of God. The Presbyterian denomination is a form of Christianity democratically organized to embrace the faith common to all Christians.

All that is required to be a Presbyterian is to:

  • Confess the Christian faith
  • Trust in Christ as our forgiving savior
  • Promise to follow Christ and Christ's example for living
  • Commit oneself to regularly participate in worship and become involved in the life and work of the church
    		•
