Additional Commissioners*: Churches sending additional ruling elder commissioners for one year beginning in May 2021:
Branford (2)
Calvin (2)

*Churches send additional commissioners to ensure that we have "parity" between teaching elder and ruling elder commissioners. The list changes each year at the Spring Stated Meeting.
Corporate Meeting: This meeting also serves as a corporate meeting of both the Presbytery of St. Augustine, Inc., and Montgomery Presbyterian Conference Center, Inc.
The mission of the Presbytery of St. Augustine is to support our faith community so that together we are a greater witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
