Our Church Leaders

The Presbyterian Church is governed by an elected group of Elders ordained to serve on the board called the Session. The Session consists of 12 members representing the various ministry areas of the church along with a Lead Elder. The Session is moderated by the Pastor, Head of Staff. They serve a three year term. 
 
The Deacon Board is comprised of a group of 12 elected congregants called to care for the congregation focusing on various areas of ministry in the church. The Deacon board is moderated by the elected Deacon Moderator and the Director of Congregational Care.  They serve a three year term. 
 
If you would like to contact any of the Elders or Deacons, please email info@bpcusa.org.
