OUR CHURCH ELDERS
In the New Testament, the word “presbuteros”
means “elder,” and it refers to the custom of choosing leaders and advisors
from among the members of the church.
Presbyterians are a group of Protestants whose church is founded on the
concept of democratic rule under the Word of God.
Our
congregation is governed by 12 elders, who, along with the pastors, are
ordained to lead our congregation in what is called the Session.
A popular motto for
Presbyterians is “Decently and in Order.” Our denomination has a highly
organized structure, after which our nation has developed its democratic
political structure. Our Administration committee oversees the details of
business in the life of the church body.
ADMINISTRATION
is divided into four categories:
-
PERSONNEL oversees the paid staff of our church,
developing job descriptions,
being advocates to and for the church staff, and acting as liaison between
the staff
and the congregation.

STEWARDSHIP:
Commitment to responding to God’s blessings to us in thankful giving to Him
is an important aspect of WPC. The Stewardship Committee runs the annual
stewardship campaign and the capital campaign, and the committee reminds us
that giving back to the Lord is something we are all called to do with our
time, our talents, our gifts, and our material resources.

BUILDING AND GROUNDS:
Our building, our property, and all we have are gifts from God for the
building up of the body of Christ. Members of Building and Grounds work to
keep this property in good working order, as it is a reflection to the
community of our commitment to the Lord. With good stewardship of our
resources, Building and Grounds works both on the maintenance and the update
of our church’s property.
