Louisville, Kentucky ­­­­– The planning team of the 225th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) released the schedule for final online plenaries where commissioners will consider the recommendations of committees and take up other official business of the assembly.

Commissioners to the 225th General Assembly elect Ruth Santana-Grace (left) and Shavon Starling-Louis (right) as Co-Moderators.

The hybrid General Assembly began June 18 with the election of co-moderators Ruth Santana-Grace and Shavon Starling-Louis. Over the past two weeks, 16 committees met in person in Louisville – four at a time in three-day blocks – to consider overtures and commissioner resolutions. Full coverage of these committee sessions can be found here.

Fourteen plenary sessions will be held virtually beginning Tuesday, July 5 and completing Saturday, July 9. Commissioners will log in to vote and debate via Zoom while observers can view sessions on the livestream found at ga-pcusa.org.

The tentative schedule (below) will be updated on PC-Biz, the General Assembly tracking site, as changes are made.

Stay tuned to the Presbyterian Outlook for daily coverage of plenaries and analysis of the assembly’s decisions on ministries and mission within the PC(USA).
