Synod of the Northeast

Synod of the Northeast is an upper judicatory of the Presbyterian Church (USA) based in Stony Point, New York. The synod oversees twenty-two presbyteries in six New England states (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut), two of the three Mid-Atlantic States (New Jersey and New York), plus an overseas presbytery in the Republic of Korea.

History

* The Synod of New Jersey was established in 1824, when the Presbytery of Jersey was divided into the presbyteries of Newark and Elizabeth Town. [ [http://www.pbynewark.org/history.html Presbytery of Newark history] ]
