Our Minister
Our Minister and Pastor is Rev. Prof. David Sutherland.
Our Session
Our Session consists of several Elders, including the Minister, and oversees the spiritual well-being of the congregation. The Elders are elected from the male membership of the congregation who fulfil the requirements of 1 Timothy chapter 3 and Titus chapter 1.
The Elder’s endeavour to visit each family at least once per year and more frequently when required. They share responsibility in leading group Bible Studies and times of prayer. Meetings of Session take place monthly and more frequently as necessary and when overseeing the Biblical sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
Our Deacons
Our Deacon Board consists of several elected men from the congregation. The Deacons manage the financial matters relating to the congregation and maintain the church property. They also exercise a compassionate ministry in providing material or financial assistance for any in the congregation in special need.
Presbyterian
The leadership of the congregation is organised according to the Presbyterian form of church government. Each congregation has elected and ordained men, including the minister, who are under the oversight of a Presbytery, which in turn is under the government of the Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland. Synod, when it meets, is made up of representatives from each Presbytery – from elders and ministers from all constituent congregations
