Elders, Deacons
and Ministry Teams

​Elders and deacons are the two groups that comprise our leadership team. These individuals are elected by the congregation to serve in specific ways. Together, elders and deacons use their gifts to equip the church for the work of ministry for building up the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12). 

Elders

Presbyterians get our name from the Greek word “presbuteros”, meaning elder. Ruling elders, together with pastors, exercise leadership, government, spiritual discernment, and discipline and have responsibilities for the life of a congregation as well as the whole church.

Deacons

The ministry of a deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of compassion, witness, and service, sharing in the redeeming love of Jesus Christ for the poor, the hungry, the sick, the lost, the friendless, the oppressed, those burdened by unjust policies or structures, or anyone in distress.
