The Presbytery of Tres Rios is called to be:
faithful to the great commission of Christ;
a partner in providing resources, encouragement and care to develop and support faithful congregations; and a catalyst for developing new churches and multi-cultural ministries.

The Goals and Objectives of Tres Rios Presbytery
"Where there is no leadership the people fail" Proverbs 11:14

Tres Rios Presbytery voted on amendments to the Book of Order passed by the Presbyterian General Assembly in June, 2008.  Of the eleven amendments, the one that held the most interest for the presbytery was proposed wording for ordination requirements of deacons, elders, and ministers of the word and sacraments.  The proposed wording would no longer single out one standard to be included in the Book of Order.  It requires those charged with selecting officers and ministers of the word and sacraments to evaluate the entire person. 

In order for the proposed wording to be adopted into the Book of Order, a majority of the 173 presbyteries across the country must vote in favor of it.  A majority did not vote in favor of the change - therefore, the current wording will stand as it is.  Selection of officers is made by each local congregation.  Ministers of the word and sacrament are called by a local congregation, then examined and installed by the presbytery.
