Presbyterian Churches In america

One of the largest Protestant denominations, the Presbyterian Church has approximately 2.4 million members, over 11,000 congregations and 14,000 ordained and active ministers. The Presbyterian Church often traces its history to 16th century Europe and the Protestant Reformation, but it has featured prominently in United States history, as well. One of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, the Rev. John Witherspoon, was a Presbyterian minister. The Rev. William Tennent founded a ministerial "log college" in New Jersey that evolved into Princeton University. And other Presbyterian ministers, such as the Rev. Jonathan Edwards and the Rev. Gilbert Tennent, were driving forces in the so-called "Great Awakening," a revivalist movement in the early 18th century. The rich history of the Presbyterian Church has been guiding believers and reforming non-believers for centuries. God sent the Holy Spirit to be our companion, counselor and guide in living a life of service to God. The Spirit justifies us by grace through faith, sets us free to accept ourselves and to love God and neighbor, and binds us together with all believers in the one body of Christ, the church. That is the good news your local Presbyterian religion church is ready to share.
