Presbytery overview
The Presbytery of Waterloo-Wellington “PWW” is an independent subunit of the Presbyterian Church in Canada “PCC”. The PPC is the national denomination, founded as the Presbyterian Church in Canada in 1875 and reincorporated by act of Parliament in 1936. The “PWW” stewards 27 congregations in Waterloo Region and the entirety of Wellington County. The word “Presbytery” can be used in different contexts, as it also applies to the governing body (officially referred to as the “court”) of the regional presbytery, as well as the members of the congregations within the “PWW”. Thus Presbytery is the group of congregations in the area known as Waterloo-Wellington, and the members of the congregations are also the Presbytery, and the name of the governing body of this area is also known as the Presbytery.
