Elders

What are Elders?

Elders in a Presbyterian church are men elected as representatives of the church members and charged with the general oversight and spiritual welfare of the church. In order to be nominated to the office, these men must meet the qualifications of an elder as described in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and be committed to the mission and values of Faith Christian Fellowship (FCF) and the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).

While ruling elders in the PCA are ordained to office for life, at FCF, they are actively involved in the governing of the church as members of the Session for 3-year terms; those listed are the Ruling Elders actively serving a term on the church session. Teaching elders are ordained for life and serve indefinitely after being called by our church. They are specially tasked with the preaching aspect of church leadership.
