With these new GAPJC rulings, we can now rest assured that our standards for ordination in the PC(USA) continue to reflect the clear teaching of Scripture and the plain meaning of our constitution. http://www.pfrenew.org The purpose of the Wee Kirk Ministry is to inspire, equip, motivate, encourage and provide rest and refreshment for pastors and elders of small Presbyterian churches.
