COMMISSION ON MINISTRY
The Commission on Ministry¹s primary responsibility is to serve as pastor and counselor to the teaching elders of the presbytery, to facilitate the relationship between congregations, teaching elders, and the presbytery, and to settle difficulties on behalf of presbytery when possible and expedient (paraphrased from G-3.0307). Fostering healthy ministries in the congregations of the presbytery best fulfills the responsibilities of the COM.
