The Session is the governing body of the church. Twelve members of the congregation serve on Session, each for a three year term. Session meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month and holds special meetings as needed. The Session oversees the work of all church committees (for example, the Board of Deacons, Finance Committee, Membership Committee, Stewardship Committee), adopts the annual budget and personnel and operating policies. It also meets with new members and the confirmation classes.
