ELDERS and DEACONS

Elders and Deacons

​Ruling elders and deacons are men and women elected by the congregation from among its members. The nomination and election of ruling elders and deacons shall express the rich diversity of the congregation's membership and shall guarantee participation and inclusiveness.

The Session (Ruling Elders)

The session (is made up of ruling elders elected by the congregation and​) is the council for the congregation.
