No, the clergy in the Presbyterian denominations are not priests. By definition, a priest is an intermediary between the worshippers and God, and in Presbyterian theology, each believer can and should approach God directly with no mediator other than Jesus Christ. Presbyterian clergy preach and teach from the Scripture, administer the Sacraments (Baptism and the Lord's Supper) and provide pastoral care and counseling to members.
