The Presbyterian Church is similar in most ways with other mainline Protestant denominations. It differs in matters of polity and its form of government in that there is no hierarchy but is very similar to the government of the United States. In Presbyterian government, representatives are elected by local congregations to represent them at the congregational (local), synod (state/regional) and national levels. Administrative functions are assigned to "Executive Presbyters" and judicial functions are assigned to "Judicatories."
