Elders
The word “Presbyterian” comes from the Greek word “presbuteros,” which means “elder.” Presbyterian churches are governed by the elders of the congregation, who have been elected by the members and ordained. There are two types of elders: teaching elders (pastors) and ruling elders. Together, they make up the Session of our church. The Session shepherds and leads CPC, provides spiritual care and oversight to the congregation, and is charged with maintaining the spiritual government of our church.
James Pavlic, Pastor
James has been CPC's pastor since early 2023. His passion is to preach and teach Jesus Christ and him crucified whenever and wherever he can. James, his wife Amanda, and their youngest son live in Nashua, NH.
Deacons
Deacons are also elected by the members of CPC and ordained. The office of deacon is one of sympathy and service, after the example of the Lord Jesus; it expresses also the communion of saints, especially in their helping one another in time of need. The Deacons are organized as a board called the Diaconate.
