Presbyterian
Reformed church member
Presbyterian refers to a branch of Protestant Christianity governed by elected elders (presbyters) rather than bishops.
Presbyterian churches trace their roots to the Reformed tradition, particularly John Knox's Scottish church.
The word also describes anyone belonging to such a church or things associated with it: a Presbyterian minister, Presbyterian doctrine.
The governance structure emphasizes collective leadership over hierarchy.
