Calvinist Presbyterians are members of a Protestant denomination that follows the theological principles of John Calvin, emphasizing God's sovereignty, grace, and the authority of Scripture. They practice a form of church governance known as Presbyterianism, which is characterized by a system of representative assemblies and elder-led congregations. Calvinist Presbyterians often adhere to the Westminster Confession of Faith and believe in doctrines such as predestination and the importance of covenant theology. Their worship typically emphasizes preaching and teaching, alongside the sacraments of baptism and communion.
