A Connectional Church
We are affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), the largest of the Presbyterian Churches, the synod of the Mid-Atlantic, and the Presbytery of New Hope.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has approximately 2.5 million members, 11,200 congregations and 21,000 ordained ministers. Presbyterians trace their history to the 16th century and the Protestant Reformation. Our heritage, and much of what we believe, began with the French lawyer John Calvin (1509-1564), whose writings crystallized much of the Reformed thinking that came before him.
Our Constitution consists of two parts: the Book of Confessions, which contains the historic confessions which define what we believe, and the Book of Order, which orders our life together. Both documents are available online, just clickhere.
