LEAWOOD PRES & GOVERNANCE

We believe the Church is the community through which God wants to bring love, healing, growth, and eternal life to the human race, and to which he invites everyone to follow Jesus. Leawood Pres seeks to pursue our mission to bless Kansas City for Jesus through a transforming relationship with Christ and authentic community with each other. We are part of the denomination PCUSA and, in keeping with our Presbyterian heritage, our congregation elects elders (servant leaders) to govern the church. Comprised of elected elders and the lead pastor, the Session (the name of our governing board) has responsibility and authority for governing the congregation and guiding its mission for Christ in the world. The Session works closely with staff leadership and represents the congregation to provide oversight and governance of the church’s ministry, spiritual health, long-term strategy, finances, and administration.
