Answer 2

The name "Presbyterian" comes from the word "presbyter" meaning "elder."

Presbyterian churchs have a representational form of church government, in which authority is given to elected lay leaders (elders). These lay elders work together with the church's ordained minister. The governing body of an individual Presbyterian congregation is called a session. Several sessions constitute a presbytery, several presbyteries make up a synod, and the General Assembly oversees the entire denomination.

The roots of the Presbyterian Church trace back to John Calvin, a 16th-century French theologian and minister, who led the Reformation in Geneva, Switzerland beginning in 1536.

Prominent Founders: John Calvin, John Knox.

Presbyterian or Reformed churches make up one of the largest branches of Protestant Christianity today with a worldwide membership of about 75 million.

Presbyterian or Reformed churches are found predominately in the United States, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and France.

Notable Presbyterians: Reverend John Witherspoon, Mark Twain, John Glenn, Ronald Reagan.

Beliefs and Practices: Presbyterian beliefs are rooted in the doctrines expressed by John Calvin, with emphasis on themes such as justification by faith, the priesthood of all believers, and the importance of the Bible. Also notable in the Presbyterian faith is Calvin's strong belief in the sovereignty of God.

Answer 3

Pretty much like a Methodist or Baptist church, possibly a bit more formal. Wear dress-up until you know otherwise, a tie for men, a dress for women. Watch out for the Lord's Prayer- Presbyterians have "debts," not "trespasses,"
