SESSION

The Session is the governing body of the church. The members of the Session are Elders.   The Session maintains the spiritual government of the congregation, for which it has the power to inquire into the knowledge and Christian conduct of the members of the church.  The numerous responsibilities include the supervision of the church school, the work of the Deacons and Trustees and all societies and agencies of the congregation. The Session oversees all phases of baptisms and the proper observance of the Lord's Supper; provides resources and instruction to prepare persons, both children and adults, for reception as active church members; and excludes temporarily or removes permanently from ordained office or membership those who are found to deserve censure.

The moderator of the Session is the Pastor, or, if necessary, a member of Maumee Valley Presbytery or another Pastor of the church may preside if the moderator so requests. The clerk, who is an official officer of the congregation, prepares the docket with the moderator, records minutes, signs official documents, and presides at the Annual Meeting for Pastors' Call section of the meeting.  Regular monthly meetings of twenty members are held the second Thursday at 7:30 p.m. to conclude no later than 10:00 p.m. Special meetings, for receiving new members and any other purpose, can be called.

Clerk of Session:   Peggy Lobb
Commissioner to Presbytery: Jim Baker
