General Assembly This is the highest court of the Church and it meets annually in May. It consists of one third of the ministers of the Church, with a corresponding number of elders, appointed as commissioners to the Assembly by their local Presbyteries. Presbytery The minister and one representative elder from each congregation in a designated area form the local Presbytery. Kirk Session This is the body consisting of the minister and the elders that has the oversight of the local congregation. The Free Church of Scotland has six Presbyteries in Scotland and two in Northern America. Each Presbytery has a Clerk who is responsible for the maintenance of records and correspondence. The General Assembly has a Principal Clerk and an Assistant Clerk.
