LAY LEADERSHIP

Lay leadership in Presbyterian congregations is provided by the Session, made up of Elders, and the Board of Deacons. 

Elders and Deacons are nominated annually and serve for two-year terms that can be extended. Only members can serve as Elders and Deacons.

If you'd like to serve as an Elder or Deacon:

All interested people are welcome to serve on committees and commissions. Membership is not required. To serve in this way, contact the church office or the Elder or Deacon leading the group that interests you.

Board of Deacons

Deacons are focused on loving ministry. If you need prayer support, a ride to church, or a friendly visit, contact one of our Deacons.
  • Deacons are elected for two-year terms
  • Work of the Deacons is supported by a monthly congregational offering and other donations
  • Anyone is welcome to serve on committees led by the Deacons
