Do presbyterians follow one creed?
No, Presbyterians recognize a number of historical and contemporary creeds and confessions. From the Scots Confession (1560) and the Westminster Confession and Catechisms (1643 - 1649) to the Brief Statement of Faith (1991,) The Book of Confessions includes eleven "confessional statements" that describe and define the continuing development of Presbyterian belief through the changes and challenges of history. Presbyterians do not believe that the Christian faith should be unchanging through the ages but rather that the faith is "reformed and continually being reformed" through the action and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
What are the beliefs of the orthodox presbyterian church?
Presbyterian doctrine cannot be reduced to three basic beliefs. The various forms of Presbyterianism are rooted in the Reformed Tradition of the Protestant faith.

These are not scripture or holy texts but nine statements by the Church from different eras of history, responding to specific issues of the time. Some of these include the Scots' Confession, the Westminster Confession, the Barmen Declaration, the Confession of 1967 and a Brief Statement of Faith of 1983.
