About the​ Presbyterian
Church
Presbyterians affirm that God comes to us with grace and love through the person of Jesus Christ, who lived, died, and rose for us so that we might have eternal and abundant life in Him. As Christ’s disciples, called to ministry in His name, we seek to continue His mission of teaching the truth, feeding the hungry, healing the broken, and welcoming strangers. God sends the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, giving us the energy, intelligence, imagination, and love to be Christ’s faithful disciples in the world.

More than two million people call the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) their spiritual home. Worshiping in 10,000 Presbyterian congregations throughout the United States, they engage the communities in which they live and serve with God’s love.
