Presbyterians make decisions as a community. It's our way of living out the Biblical notion that God has created a covenant community.
We base our decisions on our traditional sources of authority and guidance—the
Bible and the church's constitution. We pray and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit
in interpreting these sources of authority. We listen to each other, believing that God speaks in the community of the church.

Being a Presbyterian is not a spectator sport. Our representative form of government puts significant responsibility on all members of the church. We are continually challenged to think about our faith and how our faith intersects with the world.
The congregation elects from among its members elders and deacons who serve on the Session (elders) or the Board of Deacons (deacons). |
Being a Presbyterian means active involvemednt in our community and in our world.
