The Session
The Church's Governing Board
The Session consists of Teaching Elders (our pastors) and Ruling Elders drawn from our active membership. Ruling Elders are elected for three-year terms. Meetings are scheduled for the fourth Monday evening of each month. Meetings are moderated by the Pastor.
The Book of Order (the church’s constitution) calls upon the Session to provide for worship and encourage people to fully and regularly participate in worship. The responsibilities of the Session include evangelism, mission and justice, worship, education, stewardship, finance, transformation, administration, relations with higher governing bodies (e.g., the Presbytery), and ecumenical relationships in the community.
