Tres roles de la Asamblea General

The General Assembly as an event occurs every two years. It includes the gathering of committees who recommend actions to plenary sessions, opportunities to break bread through shared meals, educational opportunities, moments of public witness, and more.

As the highest council of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the General Assembly is made up of commissioners from presbyteries, with teaching elders and ruling elders represented in equal numbers. Young Adult Advisory Delegates, Theological Student Advisory Delegates, and Partner Advisory Delegates also constitute the assembly. These individuals gather for the business meetings of committees and plenary to discern the future of the church and make decisions that are implemented throughout the life of the PC(USA).

 

As a worshiping body, the General Assembly is a time when people from across the PC(USA) and beyond gather in their diversity as one. In worship, the General Assembly considers scripture, celebrates sacraments, and proclaims God's work in the world.
