ELDERS & DEACONS
Active Ruling Elders
One of the distinctives of being “Presbyterian” is how the church is governed, both locally and in connection with other PCA Churches.
Like the early church, we have elders who are responsible for the spiritual care and direction of our church.
Teaching Elders are the pastors.
Our Ruling Elders are men in the church, elected by the congregation, and charged with caring for the spiritual needs of the people at Harvest.

Active Deacons
