Scope and content
The series contains source material on the history of the congregation. It comprises only one file: History ([196-?]).
As stated in the 1993 edition of the Book of Forms of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, a congregation is a company of persons, together with their children, associated in a particular locality for Christian worship, instruction, fellowship and work, with the sanction of a presbytery (art. 139). Members of the congregation are under the care and subject to the authority of the session (art. 142). They have access to the session in reference to any matter affecting themselves, their fellow members, the congregation, or the church (art. 143). The property of the congregation is held by trustees, who should be professing members, appointed by the congregation, in the manner provided for in the trust deed (art. 149). To erect a place of worship, a congregation must obtain the presbytery's approval of the site (art. 150). Meetings of the congregation are called by the authority of the session on its own motion or on requisition in writing of the deacon's court or the board of managers, or of a number of professing members, or by mandate of a superior court (art. 152). Every congregation should hold an annual meeting for receiving the report of the board of managers or the deacon's court and transacting any other business regularly brought before it. It is recommended that the annual report be printed and circulated among the members of the congregation (art. 153). At congregational meetings the minister of the congregation presides (art. 154).
