Scottish Presbyterian Church

The Scottish Presbyterian Church is a Christian denomination rooted in Reformed theology, emphasizing the authority of Scripture, the sovereignty of God, and the importance of community worship. Originating in Scotland during the 16th century, it is characterized by a church governance structure led by elders (presbyters), rather than bishops. The church emphasizes faith, grace, and the priesthood of all believers, promoting active participation in worship and decision-making. It has a rich tradition of biblical education, social justice, and mission work, and has influenced many other Reformed and Protestant churches worldwide.
