Matt Robinson was elected Moderator of Blackhawk Presbytery and Elder Dale Prindiville was elected Vice-Moderator for the upcoming year.

The Presbytery discussed and voted to adopt a new statement:
Our Vision and Values Grounded in the biblical image for human community, as disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ, we challenge and support congregations to be thriving faith communities by facilitating competent leadership and resourcing to energize ministry and mission.
As Christians, guided by the principles of love, trust, open communication, and genuine relationships, we value each other as sisters and brothers in faith in all our varied theological understandings. Therefore, we relish respectful discussions of differing opinions as a necessary part of discerning the will of God.
