On Being Presbyterian

Media

On Being Presbyterian, written by Dr. Sean Lucas, suggests that being Presbyterian means embracing distinctive beliefs, practices, and stories as one's own. As new members, church officers, and potential Presbyterians read about beliefs, practices, and stories, they will understand and move to embrace this way of being Christian.

Written in a non-technical style, On Being Presbyterian is a unique resource for equipping believers and introducing them to Presbyterian church practice. It can be purchased in the IPC Bookstore or online at major retailers.
