Lay Leaders
Coordinating Council
The Coordinating Council is comprised of each Providence committee’s chair and chair elect, as well as the senior pastor, teaching pastor, and church administrator. The Council is led by the Church Moderator and meets once a quarter, or as needed. The Council coordinates all programs of the church.
Diaconate
Simply, the Diaconate cares for the Providence family. From visiting the homebound to greeting our members and guests, the Diaconate is constantly serving our church. There are roughly 48 deacons at any given time. Each deacon, having been nominated, affirmed and ordained, serves a three-year term. Both men and women serve as deacons at Providence.
