BELIEFS

Like other Christians, Presbyterians believe in:

 

God - the Father and Creator of the universe

Christ - the Son of God

Holy Spirit - the presence and power of God in the world and in the believer

Church - a universal company of Christ's followers

Forgiveness of Sin - made possible by the crucifixion of Jesus

Life Everlasting - shown by the resurrection of Jesus

Bible - the inspired word of God

The Bible is the most authoritative source for faith and practice, but Presbyterians are also guided by the creeds and confessions of the church.

There are two sacraments which were instituted by Christ:  the Sacrament of Baptism and the Sacrament of Communion. Baptism is a symbol of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. The Lord's Supper is a time to renew faith and strengthen participants for the duties and privileges of Christian service.
