The Ministry of Elders

Ruling elders are elected by the congregation as “persons of wisdom and maturity of faith, having demonstrated skills in leadership and being compassionate in spirit”.  Ruling elders have responsibilities in several areas of the life of the church including exercise in leadership, governance, spiritual discernment, and discipline.

The Ministry of Deacons

Being a Deacon is a wonderful call to service. Deacons are the “servants” or “caregivers” of the congregation. In any congregation, people have all kinds of needs – they are recovering from surgery, grieving, lonely, ill, or otherwise in a time where they welcome the ministry of care from our congregation. In a very real way, Deacons are the hands and heart of the Church in our ministry of caring.
