About Halifax Presbytery:
There are 92 Presbyteries, organized within 13 conferences, in the United
Church of Canada structure.
Our Presbytery is one of 14 in the Maritime Conference, which
stretches from the Gaspi to Bermuda.
Halifax Presbytery is the governing body
supporting the United Churches in the Halifax, Regional Municipality in
Nova Scotia. There are 31 Pastoral Charges, each of 1 or more congregations,
from Saint Margaret's Bay Pastoral Charge in the west to Sheet Harbour
Pastoral Charge in the east.
Each congregation appoints representatives to
Halifax Presbytery. The Presbytery also includes in its membership all of
the ministers currently serving in the Pastoral Charges as well as many
who serve in other positions within the bounds of Presbytery such as
chaplains and professors, our membership also includes most of the
retired ministers that choose to live in the area.
We also maintain contact with outreach
ministries, chaplains in the hospitals, the military, the universities,
and the Atlantic School of Theology.
Halifax Presbytery operates the Arthur Kidston
Memorial Camp where summer programs for children are supplemented by
programs run by other church groups.
The Church Extension Board of the Presbytery
provides financial support for new and developing congregations.
