Is the Orthodox Presbyterian Church part of the Eastern Orthodox tradition?
We are not Eastern Orthodox. We trace our historic roots to the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation and its seventeenth-century doctrinal statements, the Westminster Standards. Our denomination has taken the name ‘Orthodox Presbyterian,’ because ‘orthodox’ means ‘straight thinking.’ You will find that the Orthodox Presbyterian Church in general and Grace Church in particular is committed to straight teaching following the long-accepted pattern given in the Bible. We are a church that believes what the Bible says and we try to put it into practice.
