Alongside the Pastors, Elders and Deacons are the spiritual leaders of our church. They are elected by the congregation to serve a two year term. Our elders are part of our leadership council called the “Session.” The Session meets monthly to discern vision and set priorities in line with that vision. Our Deacons make up our “Diaconate”, which also meets monthly. They cover pastoral care needs and concerns of the congregation. Both groups engage in regular spiritual practices and continued education. 

Our Elders are ordained leaders of the church, who serve God by providing the direction and planning to the committees responsible for the many different ministries and operations of our church. Christian education, youth programs, missions, oversight of our property and facilities, long-term planning for the church's future, church worship planning, stewardship, finance and personnel are just a few of the areas of our church in which our Elders are using their God-given gifts to provide vision and leadership. 

Our Deacons are our ordained leaders who serve God by overseeing a small segment of the congregation called a “Flock.” They help us stay in touch, can provide food in times of need, visit the hospitalized and home-bound. In general, they help us to be a more loving connected family.
