If you were not involved with the previous informal Presbytery meeting, please register with Christine.
If your church would like an email invitation sent to different commissioners, please send that information to Christine in our Presbytery Office at Christine@uovpresby.org

IS GOD CALLING YOU TO FURTHER LEADERSHIP?
If you are a Ruling Elder, God might be calling you to preach or become more involved in pastoral service.  Upper Ohio Valley Presbytery, with four neighboring presbyteries, will be continuing the Inter-Presbytery Leadership Formation (IPLF) training program for the preparation of possible "Commissioned Pastors" for the future. New students may begin in the fall of 2020. The program includes both classroom and hands-on experiences, and you will receive training and mentorship that will help you grow as a leader in Christ's Church.  If interested, please contact Dee Kovach deekovach@att.net.
A list of the Fall 2020, workshops and descriptions, and application booklet for the program can be found under Items of Interest on our website. These classes are also great for continuing education as well.
