“Presbyterian” means “rule by elders” (from the Greek presbyteros, “elder”). The Session of Redeemer Presbyterian Church consists of the pastor (teaching elder), and ruling elders who are elected by the congregation. The ruling elders together with the pastor guide the congregation and are responsible for shepherding, teaching, encouragement, and pastoral care. The pastor is considered the moderator of Session and head of staff.
The current Session consists of Pastor Benj Giffone (see Staff for more information) and three ruling elders. Each serves a three-year term, which concludes on March 31 of the year noted below:
Bob LeSuer (Class of 2026)
