The
Session
The
Session conducts the business for the Congregation and
has full authority and responsibility for the mission
and government of our congregation. The Session has overall
final authority for each and every organization of the
Church, including the Deacons. The Session must maintain
constant contact and relationship with the higher governing
bodies of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
Our Session is composed of nine people in three classes
of three years. Each year the congregation nominates and
elects three people for three years to serve on this body.
They are called Elders and hold this title for life. While
they are on the Session they are called "Ruling Elders".
This office of Elder is one of the three ordaining offices
of the Church (the other two are Minister of Word and
Sacrament, and Deacon).
A session Elder must be an active member of the Congregation
and must represent fairly all members of the Church whether
of different ages, color, and nationality. No Elder or
Deacon may be elected for more than three years; however,
they may be elected for a second term. Any ordained officer
cannot be elected for more than six years in succession,
but may take one year off and then be elected to a second,
third or fourth term of six years each. This is not ideal,
and it is better to pass the offices on to new people
when possible.
The most important duty is to stimulate the spirituality
of our members as they serve Jesus Christ with the help
of the Holy Spirit.
