Church Governance
First Presbyterian Church of Orlando is governed under the constitution of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Also known as the Book of Order, the constitution provides for two groups to oversee the work of the church.
- The Session, made up of elders, is responsible for overseeing the ministry work and business of the church.
- The Diaconate, made up of deacons, is responsible for the care and nurture of the congregation.
Both of these groups have subcommittees and other groups working to govern and tend to the Lord's work in our family of faith. Information on all of these groups can be found in this section of the website.
