ORGANIZATION

The Session of the church consists of nine members, each elected for a three year term. Terms are "staggered" so that only three elders begin new terms each year.   The final year of an elder's term of service is indicated by his or her "class of..." designation.

Class of 2007 Angela Ritchie, John Myers, Philip Zirkle

Class of 2008 Betty Ann Sullivan, Fonda Cullers, Bob Black

On October 21, 2007, the congregation elected elders to begin serving in January of 2008:

Class of 2010 Karen Milne, Leslie Sebers, Margaret Smith.

Records and correspondence are managed by a clerk. The clerk elected by the session for 2007 is Betty Ann Sullivan.  Other areas of responsibility are assigned to committees.
