At Covenant, leadership is rooted in the presbyterian form of church government. This means the church is led by elders (also called presbyters) who are elected by the congregation to shepherd and oversee its spiritual life. Elders serve alongside deacons, who lead the church in works of mercy, service, and stewardship. Together, elders and deacons reflect the biblical model of Christ’s care for His people.
