The word "presbyterian" comes from "presbuteros" -- Greek for "elder." It refers to the system, in apostolic times, of choosing leaders from among the wisest members of the Church.

John Calvin is known as the father of Presbyterianism. Click here for his biography

Martin Luther, a German priest and professor, started the movement known as the Protestant Reformation when he posted a list of 95 grievances against the Roman Catholic Church on a church door in Wittenburg, Germany in 1517. Some 20 years later, a French/Swiss theologian, John Calvin, further refined the reformers' new way of thinking about the nature of God and God's relationship with humanity in what came to be known as Reformed theology. John Knox, a Scotsman who studied with Calvin in Geneva, Switzerland, took Calvin's teachings back to Scotland. Other Reformed communities developed in England, Holland and France.

The Rev. Francis Mackemie, who arrived in the U.S. from Ireland in 1683, helped to organize the first American Presbytery at Philadelphia in 1706. One of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence, the Rev. John Witherspoon, was a Presbyterian minister
