The Session
Presbyterian churches share leadership through a governing body known as the Session, made up of seven ordained ruling elders, one clerk, and one teaching elder (the pastor) who acts as moderator. Members of session take on a wide range of responsibilities within the church, as they guide and support our ministries and envision our mission together.
