The Church Plenipotentiary Assembly (KBV)

The Assembly of Church Plenipotentiaries is the highest decision–making body of the German Congregation in Finland. The 'KBV' meets two to four times a year—the meetings are open to the public.

The administration of a church congregation is similar to that of a city. The KBV is the highest decision–maker, while the planning, preparation and implementation of individual matters lies with the advisory boards and committees of the various ministries. The KBV of the German Congregation consists of 15 members who jointly decide on the action plan, budget, building projects, establishment of ministries, etc., and elect some of the staff—such as pastor and cantor.
