Elected Leaders
Our church is governed by elected, installed, and appointed leaders who oversee and shepherd our congregation, including Elders, Deacons, and members of our Board of Women.
Elders
An elder’s primary role is to govern and shepherd our church, embodying the wisdom, character, and humility of Jesus. The group of elders is a representative body called the Session. The qualifications for elders are found in 1 Timothy 3:1–13, Titus 1:5–9, and Acts 6:1–7.

Deacons
Deacons primarily serve the physical needs of our church and community, modeling the mercy of Jesus. It is an office of sympathy and service, helping in time of need. The deacons are organized as a board, called the Diaconate. They also administer the Deacons’ Fund which supports members of our church and community with specific and temporary financial needs like rent, groceries, medical bills, counseling, and more. The qualifications for deacons are found in 1 Timothy 3:1–13, Titus 1:5–9, and Acts 6:1–7.
