Our Leadership

At Grace Covenant Church, the Lord has provided leadership through officers. The officers of the Church, by whom all its powers are administered, are, according to the Scriptures, teaching and ruling elders and deacons.

The Elders (The Session)

The Session of Grace Covenant Church consists of the men who have been elected by the congregation and ordained to the office of Elder. Though there is one office of Elder, within this office elders are of two sorts: Teaching Elders (or pastors) and Ruling Elders.
