Presbyters are leaders within certain Christian denominations, particularly in the Presbyterian and Episcopal traditions. They are often responsible for teaching, guiding, and overseeing the spiritual life of a congregation. The term "presbyter" comes from the Greek word for "elder," reflecting their role as mature and experienced members of the church. In many cases, presbyters are ordained ministers who have undergone specific training and education. They may perform various duties, including leading worship services, administering sacraments, and providing pastoral care to church members. Their leadership is typically part of a broader church governance structure that includes other roles, such as deacons and bishops.
