Our Deacons
It is said that one of the things that distinguished Christians in the early church was their love for each other. We try to live out that love in the 21st Century in a variety of ways. One way we do this is through the love and care of our deacon board. Each deacon is responsible for caring for the needs of our members in a particular section of the metroplex.

Our Elders
Our church's form of government functions much like a representative democracy. We elect leaders to make many decisions on behalf of the whole church. These leaders are called elders and they serve on our governing board called the "Session." Women and men may be leaders in our church and serve on the Session.
Our Session functions like a board of directors in many cases, but they are also spiritual leaders. Elders are charged with the task of seeking what God is doing in the world and then leading our church in that direction. They strive to be humble, kind, and visionary in their leadership.
