The Session of Leesburg Presbyterian Church consists of the Pastor and the
elected Elders in active service. The Session is responsible for the mission
and government of Leesburg Presbyterian. It therefore has the responsibility
and power to provide spiritual, moral and organizational leadership over the
affairs and activities of LPC, except for those specifically accorded by the
Book of Order to the Pastor, congregation, or higher governing body within the
PCUSA.
The office of
Deacon as set forth in Scripture is one of
sympathy, witness, and service after the example of Jesus Christ. It is the
duty of deacons, first of all, to minister to those who 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. (Book of Order G-6.0401/6.0402)
