Session

The Session is the governing body responsible for overseeing the spiritual and administrative affairs of the congregation. Composed of elected elders and the pastor, the Session is tasked with setting church policies, providing spiritual guidance, and making decisions on matters such as worship, education, and outreach. The Session ensures that the church’s mission and operations align with its values and goals. Elders are elected to a three-year term.  Elder ordination is a life-time designation. Past Elders are part of a group called the College of Elders.
