OLD FORM OF GOVERNMENT Like a modular home, everything is pre-fabricated.

NEW FORM OF GOVERNMENT Is more like a truck delivering to us all the parts we need to put the presbytery together, but it is up to us in how we build an organizational structure that makes sense for us in our context

endorse an organizational design that shifts and changes our culture by: In May, 2012 the Guide Team and Council invited the Presbytery to endorse an organizational design that shifts and changes our culture by:

Identifies core mission Encourages regionalization Shifts purpose Understands PRP is its members Allows stream-line organization

… identifies That the CORE MISSION of the PRESBYTERY is to …

communities of faith, love, and witness. witness, vitality, and faithfulness of our congregations so they become … support, encourage, and affirm the …

… encourages A regionalization of our life together and invites us, as a Presbytery, to go deeper with one another, by…

… encourages Creating space for meaningful relationships with one another …

… encourages Putting the connect back in connectional

… encourages Peace River Presbytery Covenant Communities of Faith and Practice Pastor Covenant Groups Regional events for the sharing of best practices among ruling elders Bible studies with the aim of facilitating and support of one another

… shifts The “purpose” and “function” of Presbytery from a regulatory, mission or program agency to a missional, relational, and deliberative learning community.

Function and purpose of Presbytery shifts ….

… understands That the ministry and work of the Presbytery is a primary responsibility of the members (including both teaching and ruling elders) of the Presbytery.

… understands …That the Presbytery R Us

… allows Us to carry out the Book of Order responsibilities of a Presbytery, as well as our Mission / Vision Statement, in a way that is stream-lined and allows flexibility.

PRESENT ADAPTIVE CHALLNGES Due to a multiplicity of issues, many beyond our control, we do not know how, and may not be able become the missional, relational, learning community we have envisioned and claimed, on paper, that we want to be. The way God could send us into our context for the sake of the kingdom may not occur.
