What is Presbytery?

'What is Presbytery?' Updated Resource

The booklet 'What is Presbytery?' has now been updated following the June 2025 Presbytery of WA meeting.

What is Presbytery, and how does ours relate to the Uniting Church in Western Australia?  This booklet answers these two questions and also introduces "key members" of our Presbytery team.

The revised booklet can be viewed and downloaded from our website - click below.
