Leadership

Leadership

Our form of government is “Presbyterian,” which means “Rule by Elders.” Elders are men elected by the congregation who have the gifts and qualifications required by God (1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:6-9). The elders, together with the Pastor, make up the Session, which is responsible for governing the local congregation.
