What REALLY Happened: PCA General Assembly Review 2026

What really happened at the 2026 PCA General Assembly? In this full insider recap, I break down the biggest votes, controversies, debates, and trends shaping the future of the Presbyterian Church in America. From the dramatic moderator election… to the defeat of female deacons… to the surprising silence of Side-B Christianity… there was a lot happening on the floor of GA this year. In this video, I discuss: ✅ The close moderator race and election of Mel Duncan ✅ Why Overture 37 (female deacons) failed decisively ✅ “Clickergate” and the controversy everyone was talking about ✅ The future Directory for Worship ✅ The PCA’s new AI Study Committee ✅ The Christian Nationalism report ✅ Why the Danvers Statement matters ✅ The rise of young conservative and confessional leadership ✅ Missions, evangelism, and where the PCA is growing ✅ Why progressives appear to be losing influence The PCA continues to grow, reporting 5,000+ professions of faith and another year of significant expansion. But major questions remain about leadership, theology, worship, denominational identity, and the future direction of conservative Presbyterianism.
