General guidance · Presbyterian churches · not specific to Collegiate Presbyterian Church
Orderly, reverent worship with Scripture readings, prayer, hymns, and an expository sermon. Strong adult education programs and elder-led governance.
Presbyterian churches emphasize thoughtful, Scripture-centered worship and community life. You'll find an intellectually engaged congregation with deep roots in Reformed theology.
What Reformed and Presbyterian churches generally believe
Reformed and Presbyterian churches believe in the Trinity, Jesus Christ as the Son of God who died and rose again, and the Bible as God's Word, with Scripture as the final authority. Rooted in the Reformation teaching of John Calvin and others, they emphasise God's sovereign grace, salvation as God's gift received by faith in Christ, and God's covenant with his people. They baptise believers and their children, are led by elders, and summarise their faith in confessions such as the Westminster Confession or the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession and Canons of Dort.
Compared with Catholics: both hold the historic creeds and baptise infants, but Reformed churches teach Scripture alone as final authority, recognise two sacraments, understand Christ as spiritually (not bodily) present in the Lord's Supper, and are governed by elders rather than bishops and a Pope. Compared with Baptists, the main difference is infant baptism.
