Common Order

Liturgy and doctrine in an online library

Common Order is an online repository of doctrinal and liturgical resources from the historical Presbyterian tradition.

Historical resources for the modern church

Common Order provides a curated collection of doctrinal and liturgical resources in a convenient and accessible online app.

Accessing the public domain

Our library includes historical works in the public domain that are out of print and difficult to use. Common Order makes these texts digital, accessible, and available.

Readable, searchable, and accessible

Common Order provides historical content in an easily searchable online library. The priority is providing digital type that is easy to read and use.

Free and available

The Common Order collection is available online and free of charge. No sign-ups, accounts, or subscriptions needed.

Bringing back the best of the Presbyterian tradition

[I]n departing from the early practice of our Church, we have greatly lost sight of the correct principles and the proper ends of religious worship; and have thus failed to do a great work for the honor of God and the edification of his people.

Charles W. Baird

Eutaxia, or the Presbyterian Liturgies: Historical Sketches, 1855.
