Pastoral Leadership Revitalization (PLR) is a 3-year program for pastoral leaders serving congregations in a 13- state region. PLR supports pastors and their congregations by providing dynamic continuing education and networks of peer and professional support. PLR does this through a three-pronged approach of retreats, one-on-one coaching or spiritual direction, and peer-to-peer learning cohorts.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of ministry or simply seeking a fresh perspective, this conversation offers a compelling vision for Christ-centered leadership. Listen Now
The Synod of Lakes and Prairies has developed two videos to assist congregations and presbyteries in boundary training and in the review or writing of policies. Once the videos are watched, complete the questionnaire. Ruling Elders need to send the completed Synod form to the Clerk of Session of your congregation. Teaching Elders and Ministers of the Word & Sacrament need to send the Synod form to the Stated Clerk of the Presbytery, Annika Lister Stroope.
This year’s minutes reviews will be of CALENDAR YEAR 2023 session meeting minutes, and they will be self-reviewed. Use the minutes review checklist then mail the completed checklist to Presbytery Office (Address: Lakeshore Center at Okoboji, 1864 Hwy. 86, Milford, IA 51351), or email the checklist to office@presbyteries.org.
While in-person reviews will not be held this year, Presbytery Stated Clerk Rev. Annika Lister Stroope will be available at the August 24th All Presbyterians Gathering for questions.
Updated Clerks of Session Handbook
The Handbook for Clerks of Session can be found in the Documents section.
If you are new to being a clerk of session, please email Rev. Annika Lister Stroope for orientation and so the presbytery office has your correct contact information.
