Boards & Governance<\/h2>\n

EPR\u2019s governance and organisational structure connects the General Synod, central administration, presbyteries and departments in the coordination of the Church\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\n

Governance context<\/h2>\n

The public EPR institutional background identifies the Office of the General Synod as the Church\u2019s headquarters and describes the coordination of church activities through seven presbyteries and five central departments.<\/p>\n

This page distinguishes the Church\u2019s institutional structure from individual leadership profiles and historical appointment records. It does not present an archival roster as the current board.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
