"Christ's undershepherd in a local congregation of God's people, who joins with the ruling elders in governing the congregation, is called a pastor. It is his charge to feed and tend the flock as Christ's minister and with the other elders to lead them in all the service of Christ. It is his task to conduct the public worship of God; to pray for and with Christ's flock as the mouth of the people unto God; to feed the flock by the public reading and preaching of the Word of God, according to which he is to teach, convince, reprove, exhort, comfort and evangelize, expounding and applying the truth of Scripture with ministerial authority. . ."

The Ruling Elders

Ministry of Government. The Elders are ordained to shepherd the church of God in the Word, worship, general order and personal care. The elders serve with the pastor on the Board of Session.


	Chris Sawicki Clerk of Session

"The Ruling Elders, individually and jointly with the pastor in the session, are to lead the church in the service of Christ. They are to watch diligently over the people committed to their charge to prevent corruption of doctrine or morals. Evils which they cannot correct by private admonition they should bring to the notice of the session.

"They should visit the people, especially the sick, instruct the ignorant, comfort the mourning, and nourish and guard the children of the covenant. They should pray with and for the people. They should have particular concern for the doctrine and conduct of the minister of the Word and help him in his labors."

The Board of Deacons

Ministry of Mercy. The Deacons are ordained to assist the elders, especially in material provision to those in need, in Angel Tree, and other special efforts of mercy.

"The Board of Deacons shall oversee the ministry of mercy in the church and shall collect and disburse funds for the relief of the needy. Other forms of service for the church may also be committed to the deacons.

"In the discharge of their duties, the deacons shall be under the supervision and authority of the session. Accordingly, the board shall keep a record of its proceedings and of all funds and their distribution, and shall submit its records to the session once every three months, and at other times upon request of the session. It is desirable that the session and the board of deacons meet together at regular intervals to confer on matters of common responsibility."
