Council*

  • Presbytery Council 

    (Must be ordained ruling/teaching elder) 

    Overview: The work of the Council is to guide the plans and vision of the Presbytery. At-large Council members are sometimes asked to work on a short-term task force, or one of the Council committees (Partnership, Grants). The main duties are to attend all of the meetings, stay informed about the work of the Presbytery, and be willing to speak up and discuss the issues that come before the Council.  

    Terms of Service: Three-year term (elected), eligible for re-election for a total of two terms/six years 

    Meetings: Currently 6 times a year on Mondays from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. Council meetings are not set on a certain Monday of the month because part of the work is to approve the docket for Presbytery meetings and to have the reports that will be part of the agenda. There are at least two meetings devoted to planning and visioning for the Presbytery.  

    All meetings will be held virtually until further notice.  

    Requirements: People who are familiar with the Presbytery, good at fulfilling their responsibilities (as in able to attend most or all meetings, and follow-through on any assignments they take.)
