WHO WE ARE
The Presbyterian Church of Pakistan was constituted in 1993. It has a long history rooted in the establishment of the Lahore Church Council of the United Church in Pakistan and the Synod of the United Presbyterian Church of Pakistan. Presbyterian Mission in the area was started in 1854 by the United Presbyterian Church of North America. The first Presbytery was formed in 1859 and the synod of Punjab in 1893, which was declared autonomous in 1961 with the name of United Presbyterian Church of Pakistan. Presbyterian Church of Pakistan belongs to a family of Reformed Churches. The church is organized in sessions (the basic unit which comprises a pastor and a few elders), presbyteries (which consists of at least ten sessions) and the general assembly, which is the highest body and meets annually. General assembly is represented by the 1/4delegates of all the presbyteries. The Presbyteries have the central position in the whole system of the Church. Presbyterian Church consists of 22 Presbyteries. The church consists of the people at large, the total estimated number is more than 300,000. It contains over 300 congregations and 260 pastors. These numbers are rapidly increasing by the vision of Church Planting by the Presbyterians.
The Service:
the Saturday Service is being run in four Languages, that are Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and English. We share in worship and Sing song of praises in Hindi, English, Urdu, Punjabi and Hebrew and send our gifts of hearts to our Lord Jesus Christ. We also break the bread and share in the Holy Communion and Pray for the healing of sick. We also say intercessory prayers for the concentrated subjects and special prayer requests. Than we discuss on the Biblical topics and Tehseen Gul Khan gives Bible Study and preach to the attendees. After that we pray and share the refreshments and tea together and spend that time in questions and answers. People ask question related to the sermon or other hard to understand topics. We make it very easy to understand for the youth especially and they love to get into discussions and Bible study. The closeness and intimacy of people really encourage youth to put their shyness away and open up for the learning. We know the language of the youth and we come to their levels to teach them. So please send forth your kids and youth to help them learning in depth biblical doctrine. Also you need to accompany your kids so you can also give them confidence that you are part of their learning process and you want them to grow in the faith.
