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.
