Real Presbyteries Deepen Relationships


The focus of real presbyteries is on deepening relationships with and among pastors, other clergy, church staff and lay leadership.

The real presbytery understands that the core essence of Christianity is around relationship with God, one another and the local and global context where congregations serve.

The real presbytery sees spiritual, ministry and other relationships and networking with congregations and their leaders as more important than programs that are promoted to congregations and their leaders.
