They are conservative, literalist evangelicals.

The main, or largest branch of the Presbyterian Church is the
Presbyterian Church USA, or PCUSA. They are very progressive on civil rights for minorities, women, LGBTQ+, and Biblical interpretation. They have a strong anti Israel position, are in full partnership with the Sabeel Liberation Theology organization's policy on divestment from Israeli businesses, and support Sabeel's goal for an eventual one state, which would require a dissolution of Israel as a nation.
