Meet our Pastors & Leadership

Independent Presbyterian Church Leadership

Independent Presbyterian Church is a member of the Presbytery of Sheppards and Lapsley, a governing body of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and follows the Book or Order and Book of Confessions. Men and women are nominated and elected by the congregation to serve three-year terms as ordained elders and deacons. 

IPC also elects a President and Vice President of the Congregation and members of the IPC Foundation Board of Directors.

The session is the chief governing body of the church and is made up of the clergy and active elders. 

The deacon board attends to congregational care and hospitality and deacons also serve on church committees.
