Seeking Commissioners for the 224th General Assembly of the PC (USA)

The 224th General Assembly of the PC (USA) will be held June 20-27, 2020 in Baltimore, MD. 

The Presbytery of Los Ranchos is looking for people willing to serve as commissioners for the 224th General Assembly. This is a rewarding and important time to be with delegates representing our 170 presbyteries to worship, reflect, discern, and vote on matters that concern us as people of faith. The Assembly will listen to different voices, lifting up perspectives that both resonate and challenge. This is one of the beauties of what it means to be Presbyterian. 

We will elect 2 Ruling Elders, 2 Ministers of Word and Sacrament and 1 Young Adult Advisory Delegate (YAAD), plus 1-2 alternates. Each of these delegates will be assigned to one of the GA committees. The General Assembly pays for transportation to the gathering as well as lodging and meals for all commissioners. Additionally, there is assistance available for dependent care if needed. 

Please refer to the Guidelines for GA Commissioners that helps explain who is eligible to be a commissioner and what to expect before, during, and after GA. Please note that this is an intense week and does require some level of endurance.
