The elders make up the governing board of the congregation called The Session. As there were in Old Testament times elders for the government of the people, so the New Testament church provided persons with particular gifts to share in discernment of God’s Spirit and governance of God’s people. Congregations elect persons of wisdom and maturity of faith, having skills in leadership and compassionate in spirit. The elders also assist with Sunday morning building responsibilities, all-church events and congregational needs.
