Governance - the nuts and bolts of Eldership

There are thirteen synods covering England, Scotland and Wales. It is here that many of the questions about the matters covered in this module will be answered. Each Synod employs specialist staff covering areas of Trust legislation, Property matters, Safeguarding and Finance. Synod staff also offer support and information about a variety of other matters. Find out which Synod your church is in, find their website and explore what they offer.  Find contact details for your Synod Office here 

This includes information about the structures of the United Reformed Church and an indication of who you may turn to for advice, support, and guidance on these more formal functions.  Click here to visit The Manual pages on the URC Website

Good Practice 6 is the current document outlining the guidance and procedures produced by the denominational Safeguarding Committee. Each Synod has a Safeguarding Officer who is always ready to assist churches as they work to keep everyone safe.
