Per capita is a set amount of money (apportionment) per member
that congregations pay to the larger Presbyterian Church
(U.S.A.). Because every Presbyterian shares in the benefit of the
PC(USA)’s system of government, the expenses associated with
coordinating and performing the functions of that system should
be shared by everyone as well. The Presbytery has set per capita
for 2026 at $42 per person

The next Session meeting will be held on February 4 at 2:00 p.m.
