Experiment 2020
The Lehigh Presbytery Assembly approved an experiment … the Presbytery Lead Team was split into two boards to handle the work of the Presbytery and bring forth a new Vision.
The Vision Board consists of a small group of visionary thinkers who will work creatively with the Transitional Leader to describe and work within the cultures of Lehigh, problem-solve, challenge, and dream.
At each Presbytery Assembly in 2021, there will be a presentation by a Vision Board Member. Scroll down to view these presentations and documents.
