The PCA’s representative form of church government is rooted in its name — Presbyterian, which means elder led. Local churches are governed by elders (presbyters) elected by the church members. These elders make up the Session, the body the oversight and spiritual care of Crossroads' members. This form of government extends through the regional presbyteries (Crossroads is part of the Heritage Presbytery), which facilitate connectionalism to the national General Assembly, which expresses PCA’s connectionalism and the bond of union between/among all the churches. The session of Crossroads Presbyterian Church consists of Teaching and Ruling elders who are men that have been nominated, found to meet the qualifications for elder as outlined in Titus 1 and Timothy 3, and elected by the congregation.
