The Ruling Elders meet monthly as the “Session,” moderated by the pastor, to govern the church in accordance with God’s spirit as it is discerned by the group.
The Elders who are entrusted with the oversight of worship, the reception of new members, Mission opportunities, the Sacraments, Stewardship of time, talents, and treasure, Christian education, and the Administration of the Church, comprise the Session of the Church. The Session meets once per month to plan upcoming events and oversee ministry priorities and emphases.
