Session & Committees


The "SESSION" is the 17-member governing board of our congregation. In the words of our Presbyterian Church (USA) constitution, "The session is responsible for the mission and government" of this congregation. In simple terms, the session is responsible for organizing and leading us in ways that make us effective servants of the Lord's purposes in the world. Our Interim Pastor is joined by 15 men and women elected by and from the congregation; each Session member ("Elder" in presbyterian terminology) serves for three years.
