The structure is designed to emphasize the wholeness of the Presbytery of Elizabeth.  The work undertaken by each of the Program Units is carried out on behalf of the Presbytery as a whole.  Units include related concerns, allowing for an overview of issues and for greater coordination and integration of related activities.  Coordination among Program Units is undertaken by Council, facilitated by the Administrative Support Unit.

Council reviews and coordinates the decision-making process, advising both the Presbytery and Program Units when appropriate.  The Council is also involved with the Presbytery in ongoing planning and is proactive in reviewing and evaluating the work of Program Units  Presbytery leadership and staff are accountable to Presbytery through the Council.                                                                                    From the Bylaws of the Presbytery of Elizabeth
