According to the Presbyterian Church's Book of
Order:
"Ruling Elders are properly the representatives of the people, chosen by them,
for the purpose of exercising government and, discipline, in conjunction with
Pastors or Ministers. This office has been understood, by a great part of
the Protestant reformed churches, to be designated, in the holy scriptures, by
the title of governments; and of who rule well; but do not labor in the word
and doctrine."
Listening Elders
| Members of the Congregation are welcome
to speak with two members of the Session each Sunday immediately
following worship in the sanctuary near the baptismal font. Fresh ideas,
concerns, hopes are all welcome. The Listening Elders encourage members to share their comments before going on to the Coffee Hour. They will remain in place for approximately fifteen minutes following the Benediction or Musical Response for this purpose. If conversations need to continue at another time because of the subject matter, arrangements will be gladly made. Elected by the Congregation, our Elders believe that listening to the congregation is very important. This opportunity (in addition to being identified in the Narthex photo gallery by committee and phone number) is one more way we can communicate. |

The office of the Deacon, as
outlined in scripture, is one of sympathy, witness and service after the example
of Jesus. Mid-Coast Presbyterian Church's Board of Deacons is comprised of nine
individuals who are nominated and elected by the congregation of the church to
serve a three-year term.
According to the Presbyterian Church's Book of Order:
"It is the duty of the Deacons, first of all, to minister to those are in need,
to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress both within
and beyond the community of faith. They shall assume such other duties as may be
delegated to them from time to time by the session, such as leading the people
in worship through prayers of intercession, reading the Scriptures, presenting
the gifts of the people, and assisting with the Lord's Supper."
