News of the Presbytery of San José

9 When they had heard the king, they set out, and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen in the east, until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy.

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:

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.
