I just heard that term, so I look it up in the dictionary. Is it just another word for Presbytery or is it an official sub-group within a Presbytery? Maybe a Reformed non-Presbyterian body uses it. John, Simply put.. "Classis" is basically synonymous with "Presbytery". The term is used mainly by the Continental Reformed Churches (Dutch Reformed). On the local church level, Presbyterians call their plurality of Elders a "Session", the Continental Reformed call it a "Consistory". Also, where Presbyterians refer to their universal meeting as a "General Assembly", the Continental Reformed call theirs a "Synod". And just to confuse things further in a certain very large Presbyterian church a Synod is a court between Presbytery and General Assembly.
