Even with PCA churches, I warn folks to use discernment - not all PCA churches are equal, and a few are quite problematic. Don’t draw conclusions based on the sign outside.
There are reasons that metropolitan Atlanta is split between three Presbyteries and metropolitan Philadelphia is split between two. And Louisiana Presbytery no longer exists.
“Even with PCA churches, I warn folks to use discernment “
That should be the case with any church. My years in the parsonage, then Seminary, have given me a reliable BS factor. I have walked out of churches mid-sermon, mid-song service, and even before the start after looking at the bulletin, hymnals, instruments, etc. I won’t waste my time.
I am not 100% in board with PCA — the reason we don’t join.
