The Presbyterian tradition has shaped Christianity in the United States in distinctive ways. 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.

It joins a long tradition of Christian witness across the South, a region whose religious landscape ranges from historic cathedrals to country chapels and storefront congregations. Emmitsburg sits within Maryland, whose state capital is Annapolis. The church reflects the broader presence of the Presbyterian community across Maryland.
