Reformed Presbyterian Church General Assembly was created in 1991.
The leader of the Presbyterian church is the Moderator of the General Assembly, an elected post, and a new moderator is elected every time the General Assembly meets. This leadership does not confer any power on the Moderator to determine doctrine or require Presbyterians to do anything, but is a position more of encouragement and persuasion. The second most powerful person is the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly. This is also an elected office, but the Stated Clerk is often re-elected to additional terms (the Moderator cannot be re-elected). The Clerk controls the administrative and legal aspects of the national church.
Presbyterians do not have an office that is the equivalent of "court leader." The body that performs the function similar to that of court leader is the PJC, "Permanent Judicial Commission," made up of elected elders and a moderator. Presbyterian offices include deacon, elder, presbyter and commissioner. The ruling committee of each congregation is called the Session, which has a Moderator and Clerk. Similarly, each Presbytery, Synod and the General assembly have a Stated Clerk and Moderator.

The Presbyterian denominations have systems of representative government. Each local congregation elects "elders" who serve on the session, which is the ruling committee with the authority for that congregation. Each session elects "presbyters" to represent that congregation at the local governing level, which is the Presbytery. Presbyteries, in turn, elect representatives to regional bodies known as Synods, as well as representatives to the National General Assembly which meets every two years. All of these governing bodies, session, Presbytery, Synod and General Assembly, are in charge of the Presbyterian Church.
