organs of support

The executive authority of the Church vests in the General Church Assembly at synodal level, Circuit Assembly, at circuit level and the Church Council at congregational level.

national level

The General Church Assembly is the highest policy making organ of the Church vested with ultimate authority and the supreme governing body. The Commission of the General Church Assembly (CGCA) is made up of the members of the Moderature, a representative each from circuits and organs of support at synodal level. The Commission of the General Church Assembly holds at least two meetings during recess and one of those meetings must be held six months before the General Church Assembly. The members of the Commission of the General Church Assembly serve for a period of three years which coincide with the session of the General Church Assembly.

Circuit level

Every circuit comes together annually in an assembly. The executive authority of the circuit assembly vests in the commission. All circuit assemblies coming immediately after the GCA are elective; hence a new leadership is elected after every three years. The Circuit Commission consists of the following members: The Chairperson, the Deputy Chairperson, the Scribe, the Deputy Scribe, the Treasurer, the Public Relations Officer and the Training and Development Coordinator. Members of the Circuit Commission are elected at a full session of the Circuit Assembly by secret ballot and the tenure of office of the members of the Circuit Commission is three years.

CONGREGATIONAL LEVEL

The church council is the executive authority of a congregation. It composes of the Ministers of religion in the congregation, Scribe, registrar, treasurer; two representatives from each organ of support, two representatives each from Boards of Presbytery and Deaconate and co-opted experts. The tenure of office of the members of the church council is three years.
