Our Church Leadership

The word “presbyterian” simply means “elder” or “elder-led.” When we say we are a “presbyterian” church, we simply mean that the government of the local church is committed to elders who have been elected by the local congregation to serve the spiritual needs of the body. To learn more, go here.
