The only time I've seen ruling elders preach in the PCA is when there was no one to fill the pulpit on a given Sunday in absence of the pastor and another ordained man to fill his place. In our church, it is the practice of the elders to teach and exhort, and the TE (pastor) to preach. When our pastor is going to be out, he finds an ordained man from the presbytery to replace him.
