Presbyterian congregations carry forward a particular branch of the Christian story. Presbyterian churches follow Reformed theology and a representative form of governance through elders. The tradition descends from the Scottish Reformation under John Knox. The tradition traces its modern form to the 16th century. Today the tradition counts approximately 3 million in the U.S.

The church is part of the South, a region whose religious landscape ranges from historic cathedrals to country chapels and storefront congregations. Ocala sits within Florida, whose state capital is Tallahassee. New attenders, longtime members, and curious visitors all gather here on Sundays.
