Park Ridge Presbyterian Church is led by a group of elected church members (known as Elders) who serve on a committee (known as the Session). The Session provides directional leadership for our church and is moderated by the pastor. Park Ridge Presbyterian Church also has a Board of Trustees, Board of Deacons, a Nominating Committee, and other committees that provide leadership, management, and administration in a variety of areas of ministry and mission. Contact information is available upon request for any of the individuals listed below.
