In the Presbyterian
tradition, our church is led by an elected group of congregational members,
Elders, who serve on the session. The word Presbyterian comes from the word
‘presbyter’ meaning elder.
For Presbyterians, elders
are people elected by the congregation to govern the church’s business.
Together with ministers of the Word and Sacrament, active elders exercise
leadership, government, and discipline and have responsibilities for the life
of a particular church as well as the church at large. This includes
strengthening and nurturing the faith and life of the congregation.
Each elder has oversight for
a specific ministry area of the church, as indicated below.

elders are (Terms are generally for three years. Class of indicates the final year of service):
