Leadership

The Session is the council for the congregation. It is responsible for governing the congregation and guiding its witness to the sovereign activity of God in the world, so that the congregation is and becomes a community of faith, hope, love, and witness. The session is composed of elders (men and women) elected by the congregation, together with the pastor.

The Clerk of Session manages the records of the Session. Correspondence and inquiries to the Session are welcomed by the Clerk. Connect with Meg here.

Deacons are ordained to the ministry of compassion, witness, and service to the congregation and to the poor, the hungry, the sick, the lost, the friendless, the oppressed, those burdened by unjust policies or structures, and anyone in distress. Every member and family in the congregation has an assigned Deacon.
