Presbyterian Church of Nigeria (PCN)
The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria was founded in 1846 by the Church
of Scotland missionary team led by Rev. Hope Masterton Waddell. They
have more than 1,000 congregations with nine Synods and 50
presbyteries. About 600 ministers serve more about a million members
and regular attenders. The church's highest court, the General
Assembly, meets biennially in General Assembly. The church operates
through courts, named in ascending order: Parish, Presbytery, Synod,
General Assembly. The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria has adopted the
Westminster Confession of Faith and other confessions of the Reformed
tradition as part of its doctrinal standards, subordinate only to the
Scripture.
