mission/ministry:

The mission of the Administrative Committee (AC) of the Presbyterian Church in America is to cultivate the peace, purity, and progress of the church by providing the ecclesiastical and administrative functions which enable the churches, the presbyteries, and the General Assembly to fulfill their ministries.   The AC is committed to enabling greater evangelical effectiveness by connecting, communicating, and encouraging the various ministries God has given the PCA.

As I travel around, I am frequently asked the question: "So, what does the Administrative Committee really do?"

The root meaning of "administration" is . . . "toward ministry." Ministry implies service--hence "servant/ministry."

Our Biblical Basis: Romans 12:6, 7 "And since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let each exercise them accordingly... if service, in . . . serving."

Our Constitutional Basis: The Administrative Committee is to function as a "service committee to the General Assembly and the Denomination." (from Rules of Assembly Operation)

We’re here to serve the whole church: the local congregation, the session, the presbytery, and the General Assembly.
