About Us
Making Disciples
Discipleship is not a private endeavor but takes place in community. As the Lord has given each member gifts, they are to be used to serve one another that the body of Christ might be built up in love. We strive to count others more significant than ourselves, to look not only to our own interests, but also to the interests of others. We hope to speak the truth in love so that we will grow up in every way into him who is our head, that is Christ.
(1 Peter 4:10; Philippians 2:3-5; Ephesians 4:12-16)
Session
Together with the pastor, the elders of the congregation serve as the ruling body of the church known as the session. The elders are the shepherds and guardians of the local church, devoted to prayer and the ministry of the word (Acts 6:4). Individually, the elders of the church teach the Scriptures, lead in worship, counsel, pray and care for those in the congregation. Corporately as the session, the elders provide leadership and oversight of the life of the church and administer church discipline.
Deacons
The office of Deacon is one of sympathy and service, after the example of the Lord Jesus; it expresses the communion of saints, especially in their helping one another in time of need. It is the duty of the Deacons to minister to the needs of the saints, care for the property of the congregation, administer the finances of the church, and other tasks of sympathy and service, under the supervision and authority of the Session.
