Each congregation is led by a Session. The Sessions in turn are answerable to regional presbyteries (of which the church currently has over 40). The supreme body is the annual General Assembly, which meets each May in Edinburgh. National Youth Assembly The National Youth Assembly, often shortened to NYA, was an annual gathering of young people aged between 17 and 25 years old within the Church of Scotland. It ran from 1994 to 2019 and was run by the Mission and Discipleship Council of the Church, as part of Church of Scotland Youth (CoSY).

At all levels, moderators may be either elders or ministers. Only Moderators of Sessions are obliged to be trained for the role. The official residence of the Moderator is Number 2 Rothesay Terrace in Edinburgh.

Following a major reform (described as a bRadical Action Plan) agreed at the 2019 General Assembly, the major central bodies are now: Faith Impact Forum (replaced the former Church and Society Coun ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #11325 ***********************************************
