What is an Orthodox Presbyterian Church?

Perhaps you have heard each of the words before.  Church, Presbyterian– even Orthodox. But what do we mean by putting them together?  What is an “Orthodox Presbyterian Church?”  “Orthodox” is an old word that means straight teaching.  As Orthodox Presbyterians, we believe what the bible teaches- that God the Father gave up his son Jesus Christ to death on a cross to pay the price for the sins of his people.  We also seek to follow what the bible commands.  The Orthodox Presbyterian Church tries to live consistently with the principles of Christianity and to share with others the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ.
