Core Beliefs: Presbyterian in government, the doctrine of the covenant is the mainstay of their teaching. They believe in a particular covenant of grace between God and His elect. An excellent article, reprinted from Calvin Theological Journal, April, 2000, explains the controversy over Common Grace in full. Congregations sing only the Psalms and use the King James Bible.
