Ministers – all of us

God created every person good and in God’s image. God’s Holy Spirit gives life through every breathe. When we affirm and celebrate the goodness in all people we perceive more of God and God’s desire for us. One’s ability to receive and share love makes them a minister of God.

Welcome to attend all meetings

All of our meetings are open to members and guests. Minutes are posted on realm. The calendar indicates meeting times and locations.  

Elders and deacons are called by God, nominated, elected by the congregation, ordained and installed.

Session (Active Ruling Elders) The session is the primary decision making group. The Presbyterian form of government believes that when a group prays and discusses matters together that they are most likely to discover God’s will. Session is moderated by Pastor James, a teaching elder. The session commissions four commissions Life, Faith, Stewardship and Nurture to implement our ministries. Each Commission has active ruling elders and volunteer members.

Deacons Deacons provide and facilitate care, compassion, love and prayer.
