Presbyterian service

What is the order of service in a Presbyterian church like? Also, were Presbyterians throughout history strong in missionary work? Thank you.

Historically they have been very strong in missions.

Services some are low Church (almost Baptist like) others are very liturgical I think nmost are in between.

I prefer liturgical worship. I still attend Catholic and Baptist services fairly regularly (mostly because of family). On a scale of 1 to 10 (one being Baptist Worship and ten being Catholic Mass my PCA church would be about an eight.

Hope that helps.

Coram Deo,

The services in the Presbyterian churches I've attended have been liturgical. I can close my eyes and see the order of worship in the Sunday morning bulletin (and I haven't been a member of a PCUSA for 30 years). While the church I currently attend has a set order for Lord's Day worship - it isn't quite the same. I love my church (both doctrinally and church family) but there are things from the Presbyterian worship service I still miss (congregational Lord's prayer, The Gloria Patri, The Doxology, the Apostle's Creed).

To the best of my memory - yes, Presbyterians have always served in the missionary field.
