ELDERS & DEACONS

This church is overseen and served by Elders under the headship of Jesus Christ who guides us by His Word, the Bible. The Elders bear responsibility for the spiritual wellbeing of the congregation. Each has equal standing in the church but precise functions vary according to each man’s specific gifting. We use the term Pastor following its common usage to designate an Elder who devotes himself to the preaching and pastoral ministry of the church (see our Constitution for further details).

The church is also served by Deacons who facilitate the ministry of the church by maintaining its property, managing its finances and ensuring that those who require practical help receive appropriate care. The Deacons function under the oversight of the Elders.

Though Elders are called as leaders in—and examples to—the church, and the Deacons are set apart to serve the congregation, it is the whole body, uniting each individual’s varied gifts, which works together as a living organism to serve and glorify Christ, the head. Public service in the church is therefore undertaken by members who have expressed their commitment to the church and to its Articles of Faith. Non-members who are regular in attendance and committed to the well-being of the church may be able to serve in the church by agreement of the members on a case-by-case basis.

Elders: Dafydd Hughes (Pastor); Ian Fuller      Deacons: Daniel Simpson; William Demchick
