"Note from Lisa – How I am"

from our Executive Presbyter, Lisa Hansen.

PRESBYTERIAN FOUNDATION NEWS

Pastors are invited to participate in the Presbyterian Foundation’s Church Financial Literacy and Leadership Program. This program equips and trains pastors and church leaders in financial management and leadership for their congregations.

The Foundation believes it is important to resource pastoral leaders and the congregations that they serve in the areas of church financial literacy, leadership, and management to promote vitality and excellence in ministry. For more information, visit the program website: https://www.presbyterianfoundation.org/resources/church-financial-literacy-and-leadership-program/.

PRESBYTERIAN FOUNDATION TECHNOLOGY GRANTS

The Presbyterian Foundation’s Church Technology Grant program will assist Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) pastors and leaders serving churches or New Worshiping Communities. Funds are available for those pastoral leaders seeking to enhance their ministry through technology in a variety of ways:

• Upgrade existing technology or purchase new technology
• Upgrade a church website
• Online Training

Pastors with the greatest need serving congregations of color, small churches, new immigrant congregations, and congregations in economically challenged locales are invited to apply. Grants will be given to churches or presbyteries for release to the pastor for direct purchase or reimbursement for technology purchases and training.

Those who received grant funds during the previous Technology Grant cycles are asked not to apply.

To apply, visit presbyterianfoundation.org/tech-grant

The application process will be open from May 20 to July 13, 2026. Applications will be reviewed after the closing date. We anticipate more applicants than available grants.

COMMISSION ON REPRESENTATION AND NOMINATIONS

CoRN nominates members of the Presbytery for election by the Presbytery to its committees, commissions, agencies, and boards. All members of the Presbytery (teaching elders and ruling elders) are eligible to serve.

The CoRN advocates for and promotes full representation of the rich diversity of the Presbytery in leadership by identifying and resourcing potential leaders; reviews and reports on Presbytery performance on representation and inclusive practices; identifies, invites, and nominates candidates for leadership in the wider church.

Serving on a commission or board involves meeting a few times per year for the length of your term, as well as work that may be assigned for follow-up between meetings. Most groups meet primarily via videoconference. A term of service is three years long, beginning on July 1, and may be renewed once for a total of six years of service. Synod Commission terms are four years long, beginning on July 1, and may not be renewed.
