Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) - This is our denomination. We are a community of 9,300 PCUSA congregations and about 1.1 million members.
"The Presbyterian Church (USA) as a denomination is distinctive in two major ways: they adhere to a pattern of religious thought known as Reformed theology and a form of government that stresses the active, representational leadership of both ministers and church members. The prominent theological themes of the church are the sovereignty of God, the authority of the scripture, justification by grace through faith, and the priesthood of all believers."
