Like other Christians, Presbyterians believe in:

• Christ: the incarnation of God on earth;
• The Church: a universal company of Christ’s followers;
• Life Everlasting: shown by the resurrection of Jesus;
• God: Creator of the Universe;
• The Holy Spirit: the presence of God in the world and in the believer;
• Forgiveness of sin: made possible by the crucifixion of Jesus; and
• The Bible: the inspired word of God.

Some Presbyterian beliefs:

• That God exists in the Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• That Jesus’ birth was miraculous and that he was borne of the Virgin Mary.
• That no Christian church has exclusive possession of the church government authorized by Christ.
• That confession is voluntary and made directly to God, although it may be made in the presence of a Pastor.
• That heaven is where the souls of the faithful are reunited with God in a warm and loving relationship.
