“The frozen chosen.”

That’s about all many people think about Presbyterians, if they know anything about them at all. Maybe that’s what you believed once, too!

River Oaks is part of the Presbyterian tradition within the global church. But what does that really mean? While we are united with all other evangelical, gospel-preaching churches on numerous things, what are some of the features that make us distinctly Presbyterian?

In this eight-week series we will explore some of these features, looking at their biblical grounds and offering you space to ask questions.
