5. God can use small things for His mighty purposes…

7. Share staff between multiple presbyteries (Mission Area model) State wide Presbytery (Oregon) Merge Presbyteries (Alaska and Puget Sound Presbyteries) Consolidate some functions (bookkeeping, personnel, etc. as in Synod of Southern California and Hawaii)

8. Find a way to stay as we are (boundary-wise). Merge with another Presbytery as partners (a la North Puget Sound and Alaska) Dissolve and be absorbed into another Presbytery Dissolve and have different churches relate to different presbyteries Dissolve all Georgia Presbyteries and form one new Georgia Presbytery with regional commissions (similar to the way that Philadelphia has regional commissions in their new structure). Possibilities
