The Session

The Session is the governing body of the congregation and is made up of 19 Elders who serve for a three-year term (Youth Elder only serves a one-year term). Session is responsible for the oversight and direction of the life of the church, and works though committees in areas of personnel supervision, Christian Education, Communications, Communion, Membership, Music, Outreach, etc. Based on the PCUSA’s Book of Order, the qualities of an Elder are as follows:

Elders should be persons of faith, dedication, good judgement and leadership ability. Their manner of life should be a demonstration of the Christian gospel, both within the church and in the world.

It is the duty of elders, individually and jointly, to strengthen and nurture the life of the congregation committed to their charge. Those duties which all Christians are bound to perform by the law of love are especially incumbent upon elders because of their calling and office and are to be performed by them as official responsibilities.
