FAQ

What is "predestination," anyway?

The term is closely associated with Presbyterians and is widely misunderstood as some sort of fatalism. It is a theological concept associated with John Calvin that seeks to resolve some of the quandaries that come up when thinking about God's free will and grace and our own choices. For Calvin, the point of the doctrine of predestination was to remind us that God is free and gracious. There is nothing that we can do to earn God's favor. Rather, our salvation comes from God alone. We are able to choose God because God first chose us. Read more about this at the following links to the Presbyterian Church (USA) Web site:

Who picks the hymns for worship services?

The minister selects the hymns to be sung, usually in accordance with the theme of that day's sermon. Choral anthems are chosen by the Director of Music.
