Colorado Springs congregation votes to divorce PCUSA
In an historic move for First Presbyterian Church in downtown Colorado Springs, almost 90 percent of its membership voted Sunday to leave the church’s main governing body in the United States.
“What is broken down is a common vision and a common purpose,” Senior Pastor Jim Singleton told a standing-room only crowd at the church Sunday afternoon as he advocated for the split from the Presbyterian Church USA. “When we look at the national organization, it no longer connects here.”
Sunday’s vote was the culmination of 10 months of work by church leaders to distance themselves from the mainstream governing body of Presbyterian church in the United States, which voted in May 2011 to allow openly gay ministers to be ordained.

It's always good to see a company of believers going back to a biblical independency. Maybe now they will have the freedom to review their belief structure and bring it in line with a more scriptural position.

These folks will likely have to hand over the keys to their historic building to keep the "orthodox" Presbyterian WCF/faith. However, if john Knox's WCF (and its counterpart, the LBCF) were true, it wouldn't have collapsed in utter failure regardless of the cultural head winds. They'd still be praising the Lord without fear of eviction. "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
