Coordinating Teams and Review Teams

The Synod has determined that there are missions that cross traditional presbytery boundaries which should continue to be priorities.  As part of the new structure of the Synod, these ministries have been organized around Coordinating Teams.    Short-term Review Teams are appointed and approved by the Synod for specific tasks.

Currently, four ministries have been identified as warranting Synod-wide mission emphasis: Student Ministry, New Immigrant Ministry, Church Development Ministry and Racial/Ethnic Ministry.

Currently there is one Review Team, the Synod Review Team.

Review Team

The Synod Review Team will review the new Synod structure and the function of the Synod.  Approved by the Synod Commissioners, the Review Team will exist for one year from October 2006 to October 2007.  They will evaluate where we have been, what has worked well, what has not worked well, and what we might change to work better for the coming years.  (Click for team list).
