This Year's Session
Presbyterian Churches are ruled by teaching elders (minister) and ruling elders. Each year, a new group of ruling elders is elected by the congregation to serve on the Session. These faithful leaders, along with the Pastor of the church, discern how to respond to God's call in this day and age. Our elders govern the life of the church, actively work as servant leaders among the congregation to inspire spiritual growth and faithful stewardship.
Each elder serves on one of four standing Ministry Teams: Fellowship, Nurture, Outreach, and Resources.
Contact information for our Ruling Elders can be found using the church's RealmConnect App on your mobile phone.
