About the Church

The Presbyterian Church began in Europe in the sixteenth century.  We are part of the Protestant Reformation which began with Martin Luther and continued with one of our theological fathers, John Calvin.  Luther wanted to “reform” the Catholic Church of the fifteenth century because he thought they were missing the message of the Bible by solely relying on the traditions and leadership of the church.  Luther longed for the gospel, as illustrated in the Bible, to be available to everyone, not just the religious elite. Reformed and always reforming, the Presbyterian Church understands that God will continually be revealed to us through the power of the Holy Spirit and the witness of Jesus Christ.  Now around the world the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. is comprised of many cultures and languages.
