  As a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Central Presbyterian Church is organized according to the denomination's Book of Order. Men and women are nominated and elected by the congregation to serve three year terms as ordained elders and deacons, and as trustees.

Session
This is the decision-making body of the congregation. It is comprised of 19 elders elected by the congregation, one of whom is a youth elder who serves a one-year term.  The Session is moderated by one of the pastors. There are seven committees each moderated by elders and comprised of members of the congregation and interested friends (committee list). The session is responsible for the oversight of mission and ministry of the congregation.

Deacons
The Board of Deacons is given responsibilities assigned by the session. There are 16 members (elected to three-year terms) one of whom is a youth deacon (who serves a one-year term). The members of the congregation are divided into geographical parishes. Each Deacon is assigned a parish in order to provide care and nurture to the members. Some of the activities sponsored by the Deacons include: Spring Feast, Parish Dinners, All Church Picnic, delivering poinsettias and lilies to the homebound, welcoming new members, accompanying the pastors in serving communion to the homebound, delivering a rose to families who have a new baby, and sending "Care Packages" to members in college.


Trustees
Members of the church who have served on the session and who have been given signature authority for financial matters.
