Eldership

Our ruling elders are men elected by the congregation to spiritually provide leadership, accountability and guidance. They also work with the teaching elder, in the oversight of Word and sacrament ministry. Each elder will usually have a district in our parish bounds. They are expected to call with their district members twice a year. Some elders serve in specialist roles (administration for example). At present we have 7 active elders and 2 elders emerita.
