First Presbyterian Church of Miles City is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA). As a denomination, we are a network of local congregations, presbyteries, and synods. As a local congregation, we belong to the Presbytery of Yellowstone, and to the Synod of the Rocky Mountains. We send representatives to the denominational meetings called General Assembly - were all the representatives of all the congregations meet.
​
Our Representative / Representational form of government and connection is important to us. This is one of the ways we acknowledge and honor our varied voices.
We profess the traditions and teachings of Reformed Theology, even as together we affirm, "we are the church reformed and always to be reformed according to the Word of God" in the power of the Spirit.
​
Together, we order ourselves around our Constitution - which has two parts: The Book of Confessions and a Book of Order. The Book of Confessions includes The Nicene Creed, The Apostles' Creed, The Scots Confession, The Heidelberg Catechism, The Second Helvetic Confession, The Westminster Confession of Faith, The Westminster Shorter Catechism, The Westminster Larger Catechism, The Theological Declaration of Barmen, The confession of 1967, the Confession of Belhar, and a Brief Statement of Faith - Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Our Book of Order includes: The Foundations of Presbyterian Polity, the Form of Government, the Directory for Worship, and Church Discipline.
