pinecrestchurch.com Pinecrest Presbyterian Church Associate reformed synod is located in Flat Rock, North Carolina and has ministries for the entire family. www.csichurch.com The Church of South India is the result of the union of churches of varying traditions Anglican, Methodist, Congregational, Presbyterian, and Reformed in that area. It was inaugurated in September 1947, after protracted negotiation among the churches concerned. Organized into 16 dioceses, each under the spiritual supervision of a bishop, the church as a whole is governed by a synod, which elects a moderator (presiding bishop) every 2 years. Episcopacy is thus combined with synodical government, and the church explicitly recognizes that Episcopal, Presbyterian, and congregational elements are all necessary for the church's life. The Scriptures are the ultimate standard of faith and practice. The historic creeds are accepted as interpreting the biblical faith, and the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper are recognized as of binding obligation. nwsynod.org.uk Information about the North Western Synod of the United Reformed Church, including local church information, events and resources. www.urc-eastern.org.uk The Eastern Synod of the URC is the contact point for all URC Churches in East Anglia |
