Our Session
A “Presbyterian” church is one that is governed by a plurality of “elders.” The pastor’s role is that of a “teaching elder”) and the other elders are referred to as “ruling elders.” These men are appointed for office by the congregation and together have oversight over the life, health, and ministry of the church.
