Committees

The Book of Order states “the presbytery is responsible for the mission and government of the church throughout its geographical district.”   The work of the Presbytery is handled by Committees and Task Forces, that do such things as ordaining and installing ministers, providing resources to local congregations, establishing new congregations and promoting racial and social justice.

The Committee on Ministry, Committee on Preparation for Ministry, Committee on Representation, Permanent Judicial Commission, and Nominating Committee carry out their responsibilities as outlined in the Book of Order , the bylaws of the Presbytery, and in their respective policies. The Bills and Overture Committee, Sexual Misconduct Response Committee, Church Development Team, Commissioned Lay Pastor Committee, and Self-Development of People Committee function and report as outlined in the bylaws of the Presbytery and their respective policies.

As individuals and sessions are led to further the mission of the Church (G-3.000), they receive encouragement, support, and/or resources of the presbytery through its work groups. Work groups each have their own mission statement and are responsible for the approval and oversight of appropriate task forces. Click on the links below to access the committee pages.
