What classis does
Classis exists only when it meets. It does not rule over the churches, but serves them, as the Church Order sets out.
Consistories delegate two members with credentials. The churches take turns providing a chairman and convening the meeting.
Classis asks each Consistory whether the Word is faithfully preached, the sacraments administered, discipline exercised and the poor cared for.
Candidates for the ministry, ordinations and ministers from outside the federation are examined at classis.
Two experienced office-bearers appointed by classis visit each council once every two years and report back.
