Where the Spirit Rests
As we anticipate ordaining and installing new elders and deacons in the church – more details on that coming soon – we are reminded that the church’s leaders are blessed with a power beyond the mere consensus vote of the congregation, but rather are given the Holy Spirit by which to lead and guide God’s people. Yet even those who are not ordained should prepare themselves for a power and authority that is foreign to them, just as happened with Eldad and Medad. What we learn is that the validity of all leadership comes through the power of the Spirit, whose presence we celebrate this Pentecost day.

Who We Are
Our Members of Session (Elders)
The Elders at First Presbyterian Church oversee and guide the entire life, mission, and ministry of the church as it seeks to glorify God and love our neighbors. Each elder has been identified as a person of Christian character and has accepted ordination into leadership in the church.
Practically, they provide for the worship, finances, building, education, mission, and outreach of the church, doing so by modeling faithfulness in all these areas. They are the servant-leaders of the church.
