Our Beliefs

Condit Presbyterian Church is a member of the PC(USA) denomination.

We are a member of the Reformed body of churches.  We trace our origins to the Protestant Reformation. With most Christians we subscribe to the beliefs embodied in the Apostle’s Creed, which we affirm often during worship.  A distinctive characteristic of Presbyterian belief is that salvation is as much about reordering human life and institutions to reflect God’s goodness and justice, as it is about eternal destiny.  Presbyterians work to make the world better – more just, and more peaceable.  We encourage the ministry and leadership of all persons regardless of race, sex, or other human condition.

Some of the principles articulated by John Calvin are still at the core of Presbyterian beliefs. Among these are the sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, justification by grace through faith and the priesthood of all believers. What these tenets mean is that God is the supreme authority throughout the universe. Our knowledge of God and God’s purpose for humanity comes from the Bible, particularly what is revealed in the New Testament through the life of Jesus Christ. Our salvation (justification) through Jesus is God’s generous gift to us and not the result of our own accomplishments. It is everyone’s job — ministers and lay people alike — to share this Good News with the whole world. That is also why the Presbyterian church is governed at all levels by a combination of clergy and laity, men and women alike. You can learn more about Presbyterian beliefs and practices by visiting the denominational website at http://www.presbyterianmission.org.  

 
 
Condit Presbyterian Church’s Sesquicentennial Quilt
Lib Brenner

Lib Brenner

In 1986 to celebrate Condit Church’s 150 years of service to the community, a group of quilters under Lib Brenner’s needle pieced and quilted this pioneer quilt. 
 
The Charter members of the church are on the trunk, ministers around the border and names of members through the years on the apples. 
 
This work of love hangs in the sanctuary of Condit Presbyterian Church.
