Presbyterianism is a form of church government which is most prevalent within the Reformed branch of Protestant Western Christianity. Modern Presbyterianism traces its institutional roots back to the Scottish Reformation. Local congregations are governed by Presbyteries made up of representatives of the local congregations, a conciliar approach which is found at other levels of decision-making (Kirk Session and General Assembly). There are therefore no bishops in Presbyterianism. The office of elder is another distinctive mark of Presbyterianism: these are specially commissioned non-clergy who take part in local pastoral care and decision-making at all levels.

The roots of Presbyterianism lie in the European Reformation of the 16th Century, with the example of John Calvin's Geneva being particularly influential. Most Reformed churches who can trace their history back to Britain are either Presbyterian or Congregationalist in government. Presbyterian theology typically emphasizes the sovereignty of God, a high regard for the authority of the Bible, and an emphasis on the necessity of grace through faith in Christ. Although some Presbyterians today still hold to the theology of Calvin and his immediate successors, there is a wide range of theological views within contemporary Presbyterianism. Some Presbyterian churches can be characterized as 'broad' or 'mainline' (e.g., the Church of Scotland or the Presbyterian Church (USA)), whereas others are highly conservative.

In the twentieth century, Presbyterians have played an important role in the Ecumenical Movement.[citation needed] Many Presbyterian denominations have found ways of working together with other Reformed denominations and Christians of other traditions. Some Presbyterian Churches have entered into unions with other churches, such as Congregationalists, Anglicans, and Methodists.
