Presbyterian Global Fellowship (PGF) is an new network of evangelical congregations in the Presbyterian Church (USA) seeking to engage the church to return to its central calling of sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ in our communities, nation and to the ends of the earth. As a church affiliated with PGF, we confess that our hope is the living and reigning Lord Jesus Christ, and him alone. We believe Christ is calling us to recommit ourselves to our missional calling, to the authority of Holy Scripture, and to the faithful summaries of biblical teaching found in our church’s confessions. We believe Christ is calling us, as covenantal people, to find new ways of building relationships with each other. We believe Christ is calling us to move beyond confidence in our own capacity to a fresh openness to the witness of the global church.
For three decades, sexuality has dominated the PC(USA)’s best thinking and drained many of its greatest resources. Our preoccupation with this issue has prevented us from embracing new and exciting ministry opportunities and distracted us from confronting other urgent social and spiritual issues. Presbyterian Global Fellowship seeks to break this cycle by maintaining heterosexual marriage as God’s design for human sexual expression, thus freeing us to engage again the central focus of the New Testament Church: its missional calling.
Presbyterian Global Fellowship is also a reaction to PC(USA) structures that have failed to adapt to the emerging realities of our world. This is not a problem unique to the PC(USA). Presbyterian Global Fellowship is, in part, a response to this new reality and our hope is to foster the development of vibrant networks for the sharing of resources for ministry.
