Our Connection to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)

Southminster is a member of the Presbytery of Milwaukee and other Presbyterian churches in the southeast corner of Wisconsin. Each church is allowed the number of ministers on staff plus an equal number of elders to act as commissioners at four scheduled Presbytery meetings.

The Synod of the Lakes and Prairies includes our Presbytery and 15 other Presbyteries in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa. Ministers and elders represent each Presbytery at the Synod's meetings.

The sixteen Synods of the Presbyterian Church (USA) comprise the General Assembly. Two ministers, two elders, and one youth delegate represent the Milwaukee Presbytery at the biannual meetings of the General Assembly.

Southminster, as a part of The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), is in full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the United Church of Christ, the Reformed Church in America, the Moravian Church (North and South Provinces), and member churches of the World Communion of Reformed Churches. We are also in Covenant Partnership with member churches of Churches Uniting in Christ , and a deepening Ecumenical Agreement with The Episcopal Church.
