The Ministry of Discernment and Governance
Presbuteros is the Greek word for elder, from which we derive the English word presbyter.  A presbyter is a word we use simply to refer to an elder; either a ruling elder (ordained lay person) or a teaching elder (ordained Minister of Word and Sacrament; commonly called a pastor).  The Session of the church is made up of ruling elders and teaching elders.  
The Ruling elders of our Session are chosen by the congregation to lead alongside our teaching elder in exercising leadership, government, spiritual discernment, and discipline, after the example of Jesus Christ, and strengthening and nurturing the faith and life of our congregation. ​An elder is a person of faith, dedication and good judgment. Their manner of life demonstrates the Christian gospel, both within the church and the world. ​​​

The session of Peace Presbyterian Church organizes its work through ministries that allow the session to focus on visionary planning and organization (seeing the big picture and charting the path forward) while at the same time continuing to work to encourage, inspire, equip, and support the individuals or groups of individuals who are actively carrying out the various activities or tasks associated with our congregation’s ministry.

The ministries of the session are:
