 Guided by the church constitution, the session is charged with caring for the spiritual well-being of the congregation and overseeing the business of the church. Together the session elders and pastors work to meet the congregation's needs.
Elders are typically nominated by the Nominating Council elected by the congregation, trained for their ministry, and then ordained to their office in a worship service.
Terms are for 3-years and may be extended to a second term.

Each elder participates in 1 or 2 ministry teams but isn't required to lead that team.  Committees meet monthly.
Congregational members are encouraged to be involved in the work of a committee that interests them. This is one of the best ways to become connected with and get to know other members of the church. To learn more, reach out to an elder, contact the pastors, or the church office.
We're eager to help you find a place to belong and to serve with us.
