My experience with PCUSA is they are more an ethical society. Their ethics are quite in line with Hollywood’s. I have never seen any importance on Jesus and the cross emphasized.
I am not saying my observation is fair for all, it’s just what I have seen.
Which ultimately will mean nothing since they gained the world but lost their souls.
I'm an Independent, Fndamental Baptist and the young folks in OUR church are mostly home grown from kids that met and married in the church and are now member/parents.
There's not much growth (imo) in Biblical Christianity.
Meanwhile, the conservative Presbyterian Church of America (PCA) is doing just fine:
“The PCA is the second-largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. As of 2020, the PCA had approximately 1,580 congregations and 383,338 members (communicant and non-communicant). It has been one of the faster-growing denominations in the United States, growing tenfold since 1983.”
The latter half of the excert is nowhere to be found in the linked article.
I hate titles like this.
Presbyterianism (Calvinism) is not represented by the PCUSA. They have wondered off theologically to some liberal social gospel, while other Presbyterian denominations have stood strong in the faith. Some Protestant denominations are wavering theologically, but I do not see it in the PCA and EPC.

OPC = the Orthodox Presbyterian Church
In the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, the General Assembly of PC(USA) adopted several social justice initiatives, which covered a range of topics including: stewardship of God's creation, world hunger, homelessness, and LGBT issues. As of 2011 the PC(USA) no longer excludes Partnered Gay and Lesbian ministers from the ministry. Previously, the PC(USA) required its ministers to remain "chastely in singleness or with fidelity in marriage." Currently, the PC(USA) permits teaching elders to perform same-gender marriages. On a congregational basis, individual sessions (congregational governing bodies) may choose to permit same-gender marriages.
