The Team at Roseville really includes everyone.  Whilst like many churches we have a Minister and Elders, there are many others with many ministry gifts who do a host of things, which make up our whole church family.

1. MINISTRY TEAM

ELDERSHIP TEAM

One of the strengths of Presbyterian Churches is that along with the Minister (as first among equals) the congregation is led by a team of Elders called a Session.  Presbyterian in effect means “ruled by elders”  In NSW they include both males and females who are generally ‘lay people’ in that they are not employed by the church and generally have normal secular employment.   A wide variety of gifts and insights are brought to bear in the areas of oversight , pastoral care, evangelism, training, Bible Study and so on due to the breadth of a good team of Elders.

Darcy Le Raye  Session Clerk
Darcy, one of our Elders  is our Session Clerk and has held this ministry position at Roseville since 2003.  Darcy works in the education faculty at a large university,  and is married to Geoff.  Darcy has been the driving force for our Church on Wednesday (COW), which is held on the second Wednesday evening each month.
