IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE PRESBYTERY OFFICE
On September 27, 2016, Northeast Georgia Presbytery gathered at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Athens, Georgia, enjoyed fellowship, and then moved to the sanctuary for a Called Meeting.
Moderator Dr. Helen Epps called the meeting to order and opened with prayer. Teaching Elder Andy Cooke, chair of the Administrative Commission for Washington Presbyterian Church, read the final report (second reading) from the Administrative Commission and moved that the report be adopted.
Following several questions and a brief discussion, Northeast Georgia Presbytery voted to graciously dismiss the Washington congregation to the Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians. The new name of the church is now Washington Evangelical Presbyterian Church. There was a positive atmosphere and collegiality with laughter and hugs.
