Reports 

A Note from the Office of the Stated Clerk
 
These Permanent Committee and Agency and Special Committee Reports to the 48th General Assembly were prepared early this year for inclusion in the 2020 Commissioner Handbook. With the postponement of this year’s Assembly due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the decision was made to post them here so our PCA people can be informed about the work of our General Assembly ministries throughout this past year. Please note that the “Recommendations” at the end of these reports will not be acted upon until the 48th General Assembly meets. Each of the Committees and Agencies will submit a new report for the upcoming year with new Recommendations to the 48th General Assembly.

 Panels & Seminars 

Each year at General Assembly, we host an Assembly-wide seminar with a panel discussing a topic of timely importance.  Sometimes these panels are members of a study committee sharing the fruit of their work, other times it’s leaders with a variety of opinions gathered to share on a specific focus.  Here are some panels from the past few years:”

2018 GA – Panel on Racial and Ethnic Reconciliation

2016 GA – Panel on Sexual Brokenness in a Fallen World

Seminars sponsored by Covenant College

Listen to insights on various aspects of ministry from leaders around the PCA. While we had to postpone General Assembly, there were many topics we were looking forward to sharing with you in our seminars this year.  Many of this year’s seminar presenters have been able to send their seminar by video, and we are excited to share those with you!
