Ruling Elders are charged with the oversight of the life of our congregation – leading, governing, and caring for its members. Both individually and collectively (as the Session), elders provide leadership in worship, teaching, mission, care and nurture.
Along with our pastor, the elders are the shepherds of the flock.
The Walnut Grove Community Church Elders (Board of Session Members) for 2025 are:
Sally Christie Clerk of Session
Esther Koopman Worship
Jim Van Andel Facilities
Ruth Clark Memorial Committee
Darlene Weiss Treasurer
Deacons are charged with the sympathy, witness and service for all our members. Deacons are persons of spiritual character, honest repute, brotherly and sisterly love, warm sympathies and sound judgment. Deacons provide leadership in areas of stewardship and mission outreach. They assume other duties as may be delegated to them by the Session.
