Leadership

PLEASE NOTE: The Nominating Committee will soon begin its work of identifying a slate of officers for the Class of 2012 (election in November, installed in January). Nomination forms are available in the Narthex, as is the collection box.

The Session is the governing body of the church, made up of elders who are responsible for the spiritual path of the congregation and of discerning the will of Christ as they govern. The Session sets policy, approves baptisms and new members, oversees the financial situation, and hires ministers.
