Examinations Commission*

  • Examinations Commission 

    (Must be ordained ruling/teaching elder) 

    Overview: The Examinations Commission provides an in-depth examination of all ministers who wish to be received into the Presbytery for membership. At times, at the request of an outside presbytery, the commission will examine a candidate who is called and will be received by that outside presbytery. 

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

    Meetings: The second Thursday of each month from 1:00-4:00 p.m. The Commission may interview three candidates during the stated time, giving one hour for each. If there are fewer than three candidates appearing at a meeting, the time may be shortened. 

    All meetings will be held virtually until further notice.  

    Requirements: The Commission is to represent the theological diversity of the Presbyterian Church. Commission members should be highly knowledgeable about Reformed Theology, biblical interpretation methods, and the polity of the church, and be willing to engage in dialogue and conversation.
