Lay Leadership
The Session consists of nine Ruling Elders and our Teaching Elder (Pastor), who carry the ultimate responsibility for the leadership of the church. They are assisted by the Diaconate, which consists of nine Deacons. Members of both groups are elected to serve three-year terms, with a different group of three being elected each year to each body.
