This six-week course will explore the foundational principles of church governance as described in the Book of Order (BoO), Part II of the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Our work in this course will be both synthetic and topical in nature, as we seek to understand the “big picture” and basic application of concepts found in the BoO. This approach will provide a practical framework for our understanding and application of the principles of Presbyterian governance and use of the BoO. This course will focus on the local congregation—and more importantly, your local congregation. We will study those aspects of Presbyterian polity that ordained leaders of a particular church—ruling elders, deacons, and teaching elders—need to know to carry out their ministry. Registration available here.
