About Us: Church Leadership
Session
The Session is the governing body of the church. It is made up
of 18 elders and pastoral leadership. Elders are elected for three-year
terms, and provide the leadership for the many committees of Session
that coordinate the life and functions of the church.
Clerk of Session
The Clerk acts as secretary for the Session and is appointed by
the congregation at its annual meeting.
