What do they celebrate and who are their leaders?
I need this for a presentaion, and i can’t find anything on google.
Well, as a Presbyterian, I have no idea what "Miz T" is saying. Seriously. The only words I understand from her speech are Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Thanksgiving..
Anyways, we’re pretty laid back, we obviously are involved in all the major holidays, including those I said above.. Most of us are very liberal.
So it’s pretty chill, getting together with the family, exchanging presents, etc. You know, the norm.
I don’t really understand what you are asking.
Oh and our leader is God

Presbyterians are very moderate. You won’t see much bigotry and ignorance from them.
*raised Presbyterian, deist now.*

Presbyterians celebrate the holidays of the western calender. the polity of the church is representation by elected elders who meet in certain councils having defined authority, the lowest level councils being at the congregation level and comprising the Diaconate made of elected Deacons, and the Session, made of elected Elders (Presbyteros). the Pastor is considered a "Teaching Elder" and his role in meetings of the Diaconate and Session is limited to acting as moderator, and he only gets to vote in a tie.
Each congregation sends representatives to meetings of a regional Synod, and the synod sends representatives to the national General Assembly.
Some consider the Presbyterian plan of governance to be the principal inspiration for the American system of government.

Are you asking which religious holidays are celebrated by the Presbyterian Church USA? The holidays include those that are usually celebrated by Christian churches: Transfiguration, Ash Wednesday, Passion Week starting with Palm Sunday and culminating in Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. We also recognize Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Thanksgiving. Each church might also have other celebrated events.
The leaders of the individual churches are the Session, who are elected by the individual congregations. The individual churches are members of Presbyteries, which is the middle level of governance. The Presbyteries are members of Synods, the upper level of governance.
You can find out more about the PC(USA), which has churches in all 50 states of the US and in Puerto Rico here: http://www.pcusa.org/navigation/whoweare.htm
P. S. There are two other Presbyterian conferences in the United States that I know of. There’s the Presbyterian Church in America (http://www.pca-mna.org/ ), which is a more conservative group (and much smaller group) than the PC(USA). Then there’s the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (http://www.opc.org/), which is newer and smaller than the PCA and more conservative. The philosophy is much more conservative and traditional than that of the Presbyterian Church (USA). There may be others that I don’t know about; those are the three we have in this town.
