In the Presbyterian Church, each congregation is governed by elected leaders - elders and pastors who make up the Session. Each year, a nominating committee makes recommendations to the congregation for a new class of elders who will serve a three-year term. Shared leadership between pastors and lay leaders - both elected by the congregation - is an important part of our system of governance.
Each member of the Session serves on an Administrative or a Program Committee. Those assignments are listed beneath each member’s photo below. Photos are organized by “Class,” indicating when a session member’s term will end.
