There are two types of officers represented in the Presbyterian Church: Ruling Elders and Deacons. Each group has distinct duties and works in tandem with the other to ensure that the church’s ministry is as effective as possible.
RULING ELDERS
The Ruling Elders are the officers of the church who make up the body known as the Session. Their role is to bring glory to God by managing the business, vision and administrative tasks of the church. Each Elder works with a particular committee that manages a certain part of the church’s mission, ministry and work. Elders serve a three year term.

DEACONS
The Deacons of the church make up the body known as the Diaconate. The main role of this group is to care for the congregation.
Philippians 2 says, “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also the interests of others.”
It is with this spirit that the diaconate models its activities following Christ’s example. Deacons also serve a three year term.
