Council: Student Leadership

The Pres House Council is a group of students who make a year-long commitment to servant leadership within the Pres House church community. As a part of this commitment, they plan and execute Pres House programs, maintain our tradition of radical hospitality, receive support and mentoring from Pres House staff, and grow through intentional leadership development and spiritual exploration. Council members play a pivotal role in making Pres House a home!
