UPC Leadership

 

UPC’s ministries are shepherded by our amazing volunteer leadership: members of the church who are elected as Elders, for ministries of governance; or, as Deacons, for ministries of service. Elders comprise our Session, which has oversight over all of the ministries of the church, and organizes itself into various committees also listed below.
