Leadership
Columbia Presbyterian is led by ordained pastors, elders, and deacons who serve the congregation with care and faithfulness.
As a mission church of the Nashville Presbytery, Columbia Presbyterian does not have her own officers. The church is overseen by a provisional session from our mother church, Parish Presbyterian Church. Our deacons have been sent by Parish Presbyterian to tend to the needs of the body. Columbia Presbyterian will remain under the oversight of Parish Presbyterian until we particularize as our own congregation and elect our own elders and deacons.
Our church is governed according to the Presbyterian form of church government, which means we are led by a plurality of ordained elders. The Session (elders) provides spiritual oversight, while deacons care for the practical and mercy needs of the congregation.
All of our officers have been examined and ordained by the Session to serve the congregation faithfully according to Scripture and our confessional standards.
Our Pastors & Staff
Our pastoral team is dedicated to shepherding the congregation through biblical preaching, teaching, and pastoral care.
