Presbytery

A presbytery is a governing body within a Presbyterian church, composed of ministers and elder representatives from local congregations. It serves as a regional assembly that oversees the spiritual and administrative matters of its member churches, ensuring they adhere to church doctrines and policies. The presbytery meets regularly to make decisions about ministry, support congregational leadership, and address challenges faced by the churches in its jurisdiction. This structure reflects the Presbyterian emphasis on shared leadership and community accountability. Overall, the presbytery plays a critical role in maintaining the health and mission of the church within its area.
