Welcome from Acting Stated Clerk, Rev. Bronwen Boswell:
The General Assembly is made up of commissioners from the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s presbyteries, with Ministers of the Word and Sacrament and Elders represented in equal numbers. Young adult advisory delegates, ecumenical advisory delegates, theological student advisory delegates, and mission co-worker advisory delegates also constitute the assembly. These individuals gather for committees and plenary sessions to discern the direction of the church and make decisions that are implemented throughout the life of the PC(U.S.A.).
As a discernment event, the General Assembly occurs every two years. It includes committee meetings, plenary sessions, meals, educational opportunities, and other planned and impromptu gatherings.
As a worshipping body, the General Assembly is a time when people from across the PC(U.S.A.) and beyond gather to celebrate God’s work in the world.
