New Boundaries

Training Requirement



Periodic training is required for all Ministers by our standing rules but recent changes to the Book of Order (G-3.0106) require “each council shall have boundary training”. Councils means Sessions and Ruling Elders, which is a new requirement.


Rev. Bruce Reyes-Chow will be leading the training session this year. Details may be found here:

Open Positions in the Presbytery


Due to the number of open positions right now in our Presbytery, we've created a dedicated page on our website for all of them, both pastoral and administrative. Click here: (Presbytery Website Link) for a listing of all the current open Presbytery positions.

Everyone is invited to “Peacemaking in a Divided Country” with guest speaker Rev. Dr. Bill Shaw, Executive Director of the 174 Trust in Northern Ireland. The discussion will center around peacemaking and reconciliation. Sunday, March 4 @ 11:30 am at Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church (also on Zoom).
