The Administrative ministry area outlines the functions of the Personnel Committee and Finance and Fiduciary Management.
The Personnel Committee provides oversight, guidance, and support for the Synod’s human resources functions to ensure a healthy, equitable, and effective organizational culture. The committee helps align staffing practices with the Synod’s mission, vision, and six pillars while fostering accountability, collaboration, and staff well-being. The committee is composed of at least five members, one of whom will serve as chair. The Synod Council appoints members, giving special attention to representation across presbyteries, diversity, and relevant expertise (e.g., human resources, management, pastoral care). The committee meets at least quarterly and as needed for urgent personnel matters. The Synod Leader serves as staff resource to the committee except when their own performance review is under discussion.
The Finance and Fiduciary Management area ensures faithful stewardship, accountability, and transparency in all financial and fiduciary matters. This work supports the Synod’s mission and vision by safeguarding resources, aligning financial practices with strategic priorities, and ensuring compliance with Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) polity and best practices in nonprofit management.
