About the volunteering opportunity

The presbytery leads and administers the congregation. It makes decisions, for example, about the focus of the congregation's work, the order of worship, the distribution of funds, the hiring of employees, or the election of the pastor. Each presbytery elects a chairperson from among its members and contact persons for certain tasks in the congregation, such as youth work, building matters or finances.

The presbytery is elected every four years. The next election will take place on February 18, 2024. All parishioners who have been confirmed can vote; anyone who is at least 18 years old can be elected. In addition to parishioners, employees of the parish are also elected to the presbytery. The pastors also belong to the presbytery.
