presbyterian church
A worship space used for services and religious ceremonies by a Presbyterian congregation.
A Presbyterian church is a space used for services, prayer, and religious ceremonies by the Presbyterian denomination of Christianity.
Presbyterian church government gives a role to elders and connected church councils. This is a religious form of organization, independent of the plan or architectural style of the worship space.
Presbyterian churches belong within the broader Reformed or Calvinist tradition. The Presbyterian name identifies the particular affiliation and organization; it does not require a different kind of building from other Christian worship spaces.
