Christ Covenant Waccamaw is a “Presbyterian” church, which means we are joined to a wider network of churches called a “presbytery” in Northeast South Carolina for connection, fellowship, and accountability. We also have a “Presbyterian” form of government, which means we are governed by “presbyters” or elders who serve on councils called sessions, presbyteries, and general assembly. Our presbytery is Pee Dee Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in America.
Presbyterian Church in America was formed in 1973 to be a denomination “Faithful to the Scriptures, True to the Reformed Faith, and Obedient to the Great Commission.” It is an evangelical denomination proclaiming the gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. The word “evangelical” comes from the Greek word meaning “good news:” The Good News of the saving work of Jesus and eternal life through Him.
