Why have a Biblical Presbyterian Network? PDF Print E-mail

BPN LogoWe've been asked, "Why are you trying to start another renewal group?".   Our answer is:  "We're NOT!!".   The renewal groups work at the national level, providing information to the average Presbyterian in the pew.   Shining a light in the darkness.  


What we're trying to do is create a grassroots movement that will empower those who still believe in the quote from the Westminister Confession:   "God alone is Lord of the conscience, and hath left it free from the doctrines and commandments of men which are in anything contrary to his Word, or beside it, in matters of faith or worship."

 

With the passing of Amendment 10A, and the approval of the New Form of Government, many evangelicals are wondering what 's next, what can we do to remain faithful in an increasingly secular church.      There is a need for a grassroots effort at the congregational and Presbytery levels.   Too often our church Sessions do not look past their doors to see what the larger denomination is doing in THEIR names.    


That is why a small group in Western Pennsylvania started the Biblical Presbyterian Network.    That is why this website is here, to help you find others who are firm in their belief that the Presbyterian Church USA and those who claim membership in it should be in this world, not of the world. 


Join us in forming a Biblical Presbyterian Network in your Presbytery and Synod.   



 

Who We Are: We are a group of Presbyterians in the PC (USA) determined to adhere to biblical standards of faith and practice.

 

Our Purpose: To provide a way for individuals and congregations to connect with a likeminded group of Presbyterians who share a common commitment to biblical fidelity and mission.

 

The Presbyterian Church (USA) is in crisis.  Times of crisis raise the questions of identity.  Who am I or who are we in the face of this crisis?

 

By becoming part of the Biblical Presbyterian Network, individuals and congregations have an opportunity to state who they are and what they resolve to do by reaffirming fundamentals of the Christian faith. As Joshua declared, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!” (Joshua 24:15).

 

Individuals and churches are invited to become part of the Biblical Presbyterian Network, join us!

The "Fellowship" PDF Print E-mail

There has been alot of talk amongst Presbyterians of every theological stripe about the White Paper  that was circulated by a group calling itself the Fellowship PC(USA).     At the meeting of the Western Pennsylvania BPN, their ideas and their visioning of the denomination (well, what has been published) was discussed.    It was decided by many present that local BPN networks amongst the small to moderate evangelical PC(USA) churches would add to those tall steeple churches a much needed grassroots contingent of Presbyterians.

 

For more information on what the Fellowship is thinking, check their website http://www.fellowship-pcusa.org .
 
Uncharted Territory! PDF Print E-mail

For the past year, massive shifts in American culture have been taking place. For instance, our financial system will never be the same. The cultural shift has also occurred within the PCUSA. We have had a number of evangelical churches "shift" completely out of the denomination. The votes on maintaining our ordination standards have gotten closer and closer. And it feels as if there is a sense of helplessness within the evangelical community within the PCUSA. We've watched the implosion of the Episcopal church (ECUSA) and now the Lutheran church (ELCA). The old strategies do not seem to be holding us together and the vision for a renewed Presbyterian Church USA seems more faded then ever.
