The Administrative Personnel Association

The APA is an organization for all church support staff: secretaries, administrative assistants, office managers, receptionists, bookkeepers, administrators. The purpose is to offer an extraordinary opportunity for continuing education, fellowship, worship, spiritual nurture and prayer for those of us that have been called by God to serve as support staff of the Presbyterian Church (USA). APA encourages its members to pursue certification through approved classes at local, regional and national conferences. Those individuals who achieve certification are recognized at a presbytery meeting under the Book of Order, G-14.0741.

APA provides for the certification of administrative personnel under the auspices of the Division of National Ministries of the General Assembly. Those who are certified are well informed in Presbyterian polity, history, and theology. APA helps church staff feel connected with administrative personnel of other Presbyterian congregations, Synod, and Presbytery. At the local, regional and national conference, APA members enjoy occasions for fellowship and spiritual growth.
