The Presbyterian form of government is representational. The governing body of a local congregation is known as the session. Representatives from the sessions of each church in a given area form a presbytery. Westminster belongs to the Presbytery of Detroit. Representatives from each presbytery are sent annually to the General Assembly, our national ruling body. In addition, regional issues are addressed by synods; Westminster belongs to the Synod of the Covenant, which covers the states of Michigan and Ohio.
News about the denomination can be found in the magazine Presbyterians Today, from the Presbyterian News Service and from PC(USA) Mission Workers’ newsletters. (see RSS feeds below). (What’s an RSS feed? Learn more here.) |
