Presbyterians have a very democratic form of church government starting with the local church. The board of Elders meets with the Minister to govern the local church, within the confines of church regulations established by the local Presbytery, which is answerable to the National Assembly. Unfortunately the Assembly is quite liberal, much moreso than the local churches. My cousin’s church in Pittsburgh successfully seceded from the Presbyterian Church USA - PCUSA - because of that liberalism.
