The structures and organs through which the Diocese of Maseno North is guided, shepherded, and administered — from the Diocesan Synod down to the Local Church Council.
From the highest decision-making organ to the local congregation, each level plays a distinct role in the life of the Diocese.
This is the highest governance organ of the diocese. It is made up of all canonically resident clergy in good standing and 2 laity from each parish and the ordinary sessions are held once every two years.
The Synod elects from its delegates members who together with ex-officio members (Archdeacons, Provost and Administrative Secretary), form the Standing Committee of Synod. It offers oversight to the management of the diocese. It also appoints members to various boards and committees of the diocese.
The parish is governed by the Parish Church Council (PCC) made up of members from Local Churches of the parish. They assist the Vicar or parish priest in managing the affairs of the parish.
Every congregation or local church is governed by the Local Church Council which manages its day-to-day services. The diocese also has two other regional levels, the Archdeaconries and Deaneries, which are advisory by nature and assist in unifying the diocese in their delivery of convenient pastoral services. The archdeaconry is managed by an Archdeacon and the deanery is led by a Rural or Urban Dean.
