====Presbyterian==== {{Main|The Fellowship Community|Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals}} {{unsourced section|date=July 2024}} One of the fastest growing Confessing Movements is within the [[Presbyterian Church (USA)]]. In February, 2002 more than 800 laity, pastors, deacons, and elders gathered in [[Atlanta, Georgia]] for the first National Celebration of Confessing Churches. Participating churches affirm that [[Christ]] is the only way of [[salvation]], that the [[Bible]] is infallible in its teachings, and that [[sexual relations]] are exclusively for [[marriage]]. More than 1,300 of the denomination's 11,000 congregations have adopted such declarations and become part of a loosely knit Confessing Church Movement. The books ''Union in Christ: A Declaration for the Church'' (1999) and ''A Passion for the Gospel: Confessing Jesus Christ for the 21st Century'' (2000), both by Mark Achtemeier and [[Andrew Purves]], have served as rallying cries for Confessing Presbyterians. The positions held by these caucuses is similar to that of denominations such as the [[Presbyterian Church in America]]; a more conservative denomination is the [[Free Presbyterian Church of North America]]. Still working within the Presbyterian Church (USA) is Presbyterians for the Kingdom, which aims to restore what it sees as theological orthodoxy in the denomination.<ref name="Wingfield2023"/>
