Elders and Deacons

The governance of First Presbyterian Church is through the leadership of 18 elders elected and ordained for this ministry by the congregation. This group of leaders is referred to as the Session. The Pastor serves as the moderator of this governing board and other Presbyterian ministers on staff are also voting members of the Session. They meet the third Sunday evening of every month, providing oversight to every aspect of the congregation's ministry to the community as well as the world beyond.
