Welcome to the Presbyterian Church of Manchester (or PCM as we affectionately call ourselves)! We are a gospel-centered church where everything is directed towards the glory of God. We long to see the gospel transform our church and other churches, our local communities, and our culture.
If you are curious to get to know us even better, you've come to the right place. Below, you'll find our doctrinal statements, a listing of our officers and staff, as well as our positions on various hot button subjects. But, of course, there's no better way to get to know us, than to join us Sunday morning for worship! We'd be glad to have you with us.
We are Evangelical, Reformed, and Presbyterian.
By Evangelical we mean that we emphasize the gospel (good news of salvation) through faith in Jesus Christ, as well as affirming other orthodox Christian doctrines and holding to the inerrancy of Scripture.
By Reformed we mean that we are connected to the teachings of the historic church and the doctrinal beliefs recovered by the Reformation. These doctrinal beliefs are expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith with the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. All pastors, elders and deacons of the Presbyterian Church in America must personally subscribe to and uphold the teachings of the Westminster Confession of Faith.
By Presbyterian we describe our representative form of church government. Local churches are governed by a “Session” of “presbyters” (elders), elected by the members of the congregation. Representatives of local churches within a geographical area compose a “presbytery.” Representatives of presbyteries meet annually at “General Assembly.” Thus, through the combined efforts and resources of all of the churches, we are enabled to advance God’s Kingdom much more effectively.
PCM is a gospel-centered church where everything is directed toward the glory of God. We long to see the gospel transform our church and other churches, our local communities, and our culture.
At PCM, we pray for and look for the works of the Gospel. Those works are seen in Acts 2:42-47.
