Elders
We are “Presbyterian” in form of church government. Each congregation is under the oversight of those elected as elders, who also serve as delegates to higher church courts known as Presbytery and Synod. Elders are responsible for spiritual oversight and governance of the congregation, including the ministry of God’s Word, prayer, and pastoral care.
