As a part of our community, you will be aware that we are part of Christ's wider universal Church throughout the world; constitutionally part of the Presbyterian Church of Australia.
You may not know that we are linked with the historical work of the Holy Spirit in the reformation of the Church of Scotland in the 16th century led by John Knox, the founder of Presbyterianism. In Australia we can trace our beginnings to the banks of the Hawkesbury River near Sydney in 1803.
The Supreme Standard of the Church is the Word of God contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. The Subordinate Standard of the Church is the Westminster Confession of Faith read in light of the Declaratory Statement.
DID YOU KNOW?
That the word Presbyterian refers to the manner in which the Church organises itself? The Australian Macquarie Dictionary defines the term; "Church government by presbyters, or elders who are equal in rank, consisting of ministers (teaching elders) and layman (ruling elders)." Congregations are under the jurisdiction of a Presbytery to which they belong in their district.
