it looks like either choice, God may be using you to open some eyes.
Definitely before I did anything I would initiate discussions with the elders. You do owe them, and your brothers and sisters that are subject to that awful atmosphere, at least that much.


Yes, you are under the authority of the session and have an obligation to make your concerns known to them. In a PCA congreagation as a communing member you have the right to voice your concerns to the session. If you file a complaint with the session, they are obligated to hear your concerns. You can appeal to the Presbytery, but only after you have made every attempt to be heard at the sessional level. I would not walk away from this congregation without calling them to repentance
