Governance
Kohimarama Presbyterian Church is part of the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand. It is governed by Session (the Church's Ministers and elected elders) at a local level, Presbytery at the Auckland level and General Assembly at the National Level.
Our Session is made up of fifteen elders, including our two ministers, and each elder is part of one sub-committee - Christian Education, Connecting with Society, Missions, Pastoral Care, and Worship & Creativity, which report back monthly to Session.
Within Session there is also an elected Presbytery elder who, along with the Ministers, represents our church at Auckland Presbytery. The General Assembly meets every two years and is made up of chosen representatives from each Presbyterian church.
The Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand governs all Presbyterian Churches in New Zealand and their website gives details of basic beliefs as well as what is happening at a National level.
We also have a Board of Managers, who look after property management and finances and who report to Session.
