Our Leadership

Our Elders

The elders of First Presbyterian are men and women elected to serve and lead the church in its mission for three-year terms. Reach out to our elders with any questions, encouragements, or concerns.

Our Clerk of Session, Lori Lembke, serves alongside our elders by recording our meetings and assisting our Pastor in moderating those meetings.

Our Deacons

The deacons of First Presbyterian are men and women elected to lead the church through selfless service of others, primarily by visiting seniors and serving communion.
