Elders

What Do Elders Do at Holy Cross?


At Holy Cross, Elders serve alongside our pastors to help care for the spiritual life of the church. Their primary role is to support the pastors and congregation through prayer, encouragement, guidance, and faithful leadership. There is always an Elder ready to meet and pray with you at the end of service if the need arises.

Elders assist with worship services, offer counsel in matters of faith and spiritual care, and help ensure that the church’s ministry remains grounded in Scripture. They also care for the well-being of our pastors and their families, recognizing that healthy leadership is essential to a healthy church.

During times of pastoral transition, Elders help guide the congregation through the process with prayerful discernment and stability.

Who Are the Elders?

Elders are committed members of the congregation who are known for their integrity, faithfulness, and love for Christ and His Church. They seek to live lives shaped by Scripture, prayer, worship, and service, and they strive to lead with humility, compassion, and wisdom.
Their goal is simple: To help Holy Cross remain a place where the Gospel is clearly taught, people are cared for, and Christ is honored in all things.
