The Presbytery supports the work of our congregations.
- Presbytery works with churches to provide pastors and pastoral leadership; oversees the work of the sessions of the churches; supports the work of the churches; organizes new churches; controls the location of new churches; and dissolves churches if necessary.
- Presbytery establishes and dissolves pastoral relationships, and aids churches and ministers in their on-going relationships.
- Presbytery provides, through the Stated Clerk, interpretation and advice on constitutional questions; settles differences in churches when needed; and handles judicial cases when necessary.
- Presbytery trains, commissions, and guides the work of Commissioned Lay Pastors; gives support and oversight to those preparing for ministry; ordains, receives, dismisses, installs, removes, and disciplines ministers; and elects and orients commissioners to the Synod and General Assembly meetings.
- Presbytery provides financial support for numerous Presbyterian ministries and pays the expenses for committees, subcommittees, and task forces that help us to do ministry together that we could not afford or do alone.
- Presbytery organizes events for learning, inspiration, and Christian fellowship available to the young people of our churches.
- Presbytery connects us with ecumenical partners.
- Presbytery organizes retreats for spiritual growth and continuing education.
- Presbytery provides online pages of Ministry Resources for ministers, educators, Sunday School teachers, and members for worship, education, ministry, administration, and mission. We also have a small number of curriculums that can be checked out.
Presbytery holds meetings to handle the business of the congregations and provides opportunities for education and fellowship.
Presbyterians affirm that God comes to us with grace and love in the person of Jesus Christ, who lived, died, and rose for us so that we might have eternal and abundant life in him.
