Serving as a Ruling Elder: A Course in the Basics
What are the roles and responsibilities of elders? Join this course and explore the multifaceted answers to
this and other questions with the Elders' Institute online. The purpose of the course is to focus on the role of the ruling
elder within The Presbyterian Church in Canada and its
congregations and courts.
The course is intended for anyone who is interested in eldership: new elders looking for some orientation to their
ministry, potential elders considering a call to eldership, and current elders wanting a 'refresher.'

Putting a FACE to RULING ELDERSHIP
The Elders' Institute wants to celebrate all ruling elders in The Presbyterian Church in Canada by preparing
a banner with photos of as many elders as possible.
It's time to get your camera out!
If you have served a long time, if you are a trailblazer, if your are a rookie, if you are being the best
elder you can be, we ask you to send your photo to the Elders' Institute.
