SCPC is part of the Presbyterian Church (USA) denomination, born of the Calvinist tradition. Today’s Presbyterian Church (USA) was created by the 1983 reunion of the two main branches of Presbyterians in America, separated since the Civil War. The church has over 2.9 million members, from all fifty states and Puerto Rico, united in the mission of Jesus Christ.

We do mission, locally, nationally, and globally, as guided by the General Assembly.

“In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to live holy and joyful lives, even as we watch for God’s new heaven and new earth praying ‘Come Lord Jesus.'” —from the Brief Statement of Faith

State College Presbyterian Church has a current membership of approximately 800 members.
