The Confessional Banners of the Presbyterian Church symbolize nine creeds and confessions from the early Christian era to the twentieth century. These historic statements of faith represent our Christian heritage from the Roman Empire to the Reformation, including contemporary reflections of faith in our own time.

The Confessions which these banners represent are part of the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (USA.)

The Book of Confessions is a standard of faith which church officers and pastors are encouraged to study as they lead the people of God.

When the Book of Confessions was adopted, Richard K. Avery, pastor and Donald S. Marsh, choir director of the Port Jarvis, New York, Presbyterian Church devised eight banners symbolic of the confessions. A Brief Statement of Faith became a part of The Book of Confessions following its approval by the 203rd General Assembly in 1991. Gay M. Sorenson, member of the First Presbyterian Church, Port Charlotte, Florida, designed a banner appropriate for use with A Brief Statement of Faith.
