As Presbyterians we believe that the Holy Spirit works best in the church through the will of the people as represented by its Elders. Persons elected as Elders need to be spiritually wise, committed primarily to following Jesus Christ as His disciples, and open to change and the fresh breezes of the Holy Spirit, which gives the church vitality and new opportunities to do God’s work in our day.

Elders serve together on the Session, the governing body that oversees the mission, ministries, and governance of Hope Presbyterian Church. Each Elder serves a three-year term on the Session and provides leadership for one of the Commissions of the Session.
