Leadership at Central Presbyterian Church
Presbyterian polity is a method of church governance typified by the rule of Assemblies of presbyters, or elders. Each local church is governed by a body of elected elders usually called the Session.

Session: Each year, a new class is elected to the Session of Central Presbyterian Church, serving a three-year term. This provides for both continuity and fresh input. Elders at CPC are also responsible for serving Communion on a monthly basis. The pastor serves as the Moderator of the Session.
