Governance · Ecclesiastical

The Presbytery.

The ecclesiastical governance body of Embassy Covenant Church International. Apostolic order, doctrinal oversight, and the ascension gifts, walking together under the Lead Apostle.

Ecclesiastical Governance

Not a title. A working body.

The Presbytery carries ecclesiastical responsibility for apostolic order, doctrinal oversight, spiritual care, and the stewardship of the ascension gifts. The Executive Board provides operational and fiduciary stewardship for the institutional life of the house.

Under the covering of Bishop Hugh Daniel Smith, the Lead Apostle, the Presbytery is a working body of recognized apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, and ministers of helps, walking in relationship, accountability, and covenant order.

Membership on the Presbytery is not honorary. Every member carries a specific pastoral, apostolic, or prophetic mandate within the life of Embassy Covenant Church International.
