Leadership Style

Instead of a top-down structure with the pastor on top as identified in many management systems, this model represents the participatory leadership style of Jesus. (Lead Like Jesus by Ken Blanchard)

1. Congregation

2. Worship, Christian Education, Mission, Hospitality,

3. Building, Grounds, Cemetery, Presbyterian Women

4. Elders, Deacons

5. Pastor

Deacons

“The ministry of deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of compassion, witness, and service, sharing in the redeeming love of Jesus Christ for the poor, the hungry, the sick, the lost, the friendless, the oppressed, those burdened by unjust policies or structures, or anyone in distress.”          Presbyterian Book of Order

Session

The Ruling Elders who are elected and serve on the Session of the church are the primary leadership of the congregation. These men and women are tasked with the work of maintaining and building up our congregation, serving our community and reaching out to the world.
