Session

As there were in Old Testament times elders for the government of the people, so the New Testament Church provided persons with particular gifts to share in governing and ministry.Elders are chosen by the people.Together with ministers of the Word and Sacrament, they exercise leadership, government, and discipline and have responsibilities for the life of a particular church as well as the church at large, including ecumenical relationships.

Elders should be persons of faith, dedication, and good judgment.Their manner of life should be a demonstration of the Christian gospel, both within the church and in the word.

It is the duty of elders, individually and jointly, to strengthen and nurture the faith and life of the congregation committed to their charge.Together with the pastor, they should encourage the people in the worship and service of God, equip and renew them for their tasks within the church and for their mission in the world, visit and comfort and care for the people, with special attention to the poor, the sick, the lonely, and those who are oppressed.
