The Book of Confessions - The Book of Confessions is a collection of historical statements, or creeds, that proclaim what the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) believes. It is volume I of our constitution, and not only reminds us of our past, but serves as a guide for our future. Despite the importance of the Confessions, all are subservient to the authority of the Bible.
