흔히, 더 이상 당회에서 사역하지 않는 사역 장로는 자신이 한때 사역 장로였다고 말할 것이다. 그러나 사역 장로의 안수는 당회의 사역이 끝났다고 해서 종료되지 않는다. 사역 장로는 하나님의 백성을 섬기는 활기찬 사역을 계속할 수 있고, 또 계속해야 한다.

시애틀의 머서 아일랜드 장로교회에서 사역 장로와 집사로 안수받은 알렉스 맥심은 이 점을 마음에 새기고 교인들이 단순히 관망하지 않고 동참하는 것이 중요하다고 믿는 사역 장로 중 하나이다.

Muy a menudo, las personas ordenadas como ancianas gobernantes que ya no sirven en el consistorio dirán que solían serlo. Sin embargo, la ordenación como personas ordenadas como ancianas gobernantes no expira cuando se ha completado su servicio en el consistorio. Las personas ordenadas como ancianas gobernantes pueden y deben continuar su vibrante ministerio de servicio al pueblo de Dios.

Alex Maxim, ordenado anciano gobernante y diácono en la Iglesia Presbiteriana de Mercer Island en Seattle, es uno de esos ancianos gobernantes que se ha tomado esto en serio y cree en la importancia de que las membresías de la iglesia participen y no solo observen.

Alex Maxim, ordained a ruling elder and a deacon at Mercer Island Presbyterian Church in Seattle, is one of those ruling elders who has taken this to heart and believes in the importance of church members participating and not just observing.
