Do Presbytery and Synod Committees follow the same procedures as the National Committee?
Every Self-Development Committee must use the Self-Development of People criteria as the standard to determine whether or not a group’s project is valid for funding. However, each committee is responsible for establishing its own operational procedures. For example, each committee must determine how often and where to meet, when to accept applications, when and if the committee will do site visits, how the committee will do interpretation and help educate its congregations and how to involve the middle governing bodies.
