Our Denomination
Cambridge First is part of the Presbyterian Church (USA) which has approximately 3 million members around the country. The Presbyterian Church is one of the oldest Protestant denominations in the country. It grew out of the "Reformed" movement, led by John Calvin in Geneva, Switzerland in the 16th Century. Presbyterianism eventually spread to the rest of Europe but it took a particularly strong hold in Scotland. Scotch immigrants brought Presbyterianism to the United States during the colonial period.
Presbyterianism is rooted in the Scriptures, and the historic creeds and confessions of the Christian Church. Our faith is based in trust in a totally loving and sovereign God, who is revealed in Jesus Christ. We, empowered by the Spirit, are called to love and trust God, and everything that God has created.
Presbyterian church government is made up of representative assemblies of equal members of lay and clergy delegates and functions much like the U.S. Congress. Each local church congregation is governed by the Session. The Session is a board composed of church Elders (both women and men) who are ordained by the members of the church to manage the business of the congregation and administer the sacraments.
