Presbyterian Church in the USA

The Presbyterian Church in the USA, now known as the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), is a Protestant denomination rooted in Reformed theology, emphasizing God's sovereignty, the authority of Scripture, and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. It operates through a system of elders (presbyters), both lay and ordained, who govern local and national church matters collectively. Known for its emphasis on social justice, education, and community involvement, it has a democratic structure that encourages member participation and decision-making at various levels. The church seeks to embody Christ’s teachings through worship, service, and advocacy for societal well-being.
