Presbyterian churches form a meaningful part of American Christian life. 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. Arlington sits within Virginia, whose state capital is Richmond. Both regular attenders and first-time visitors are welcome.
