Session

The session of a particular church consists of the pastor or co-pastors, the associate pastors, and the elders in active service. All members of the session, including the pastor, co-pastors, and associate pastors, are entitled to vote.

Clerk of Session
The Clerk of Session is the chief lay officer of the congregation and is responsible for the direction of the church with the pastor, and primarily, in the pastor's absence.  Specifically, the Clerk of Session (G-10.033) records, produces and preserves the minutes of the Session and Congregational Meetings. The Clerk is charged with the keeping of the membership rolls and other official records of the congregation. The Clerk prepares the annual report to the General Assembly and, in our church, acknowledges memorial gifts.
