The church is governed by three boards: Session (Elders), Deacons and Trustees. They are elected by the congregation every year for rotating “classes.” They may serve two consecutive terms, or six years maximum, before taking a required term off.  Any church member can be elected and installed as an Elder, Deacon and Trustee.  Elders and Deacons are also ordained.

For more information, church members are invited to download the Church Manual. Please ask the Church Office for a password.

Our church is part of the Presbyterian Church, USA.  An assembly of congregations throughout the US and abroad, the PC USA functions much like our federal government. We elect its members and they decide our policies. The governing body is known as the General Assembly.

The PC USA also has a strong public mission association that DCCCP has worked closely with in the past, known as  The Presbyterian Disaster Assistance program.
