West Valley Presbyterian Church is a church in the Presbyterian Church in America and is governed by a session of elders who jointly shepherd the congregation alongside the pastor.  Churches in the PCA are led by a plurality of ruling/lay elders and teaching/pastor elders.  (The Greek word for "elder" is presbyteros.)  At present there are 3 session elders, who, in addition to their own vocations, are serving Christ by loving the members of West Valley PCA.  If you have reason to contact any of our elders you may email them at .
