About the Training

The event will focus on the four areas on which our Book of Order requires each new officer to be examined – 1) Personal Faith, 2) Reformed Doctrines and Beliefs, 3) Presbyterian Polity, and 4) duties of the Office of Elder or Deacon. Having a copy of the PC(USA) Book of Order will be beneficial for attendees.

We will be utilizing the officer training manual that Tom Malone has prepared, entitled Being the Best You Can Be: a Notebook for Preparing Church Officers for Service. Each attending person will receive a copy of this notebook which contains the material we will be using that Saturday but also other material that will help you do some additional personal preparation. Jim Rowell, Interim Stated Clerk of Trinity Presbytery, will lead the training.

What resources do I need?

Companion to the Constitution: Polity for the Local Church This is an excellent resource book. It is revised annually to incorporate changes to the Book of Order, but it is not necessary to order a new one every year. It is excellent, easy to read, and a helpful reference to the Book of Order as it relates specifically to the ministry of the local church. This book is a practical application of the Book of Order to real-time experiences in the church. Available at http://store.pcusa.org. ISBN 0-664-50146-X

Officers who have already been ordained but who would like additional training are welcome and encouraged to attend.
