The ruling board of the church, formally called the Session, consists of 18 elders divided in three classes of six people. One class of elders is elected each year by the congregation for a three-year term. Elders are nominated and elected based on their activity level and commitment to the church, as well as their leadership skills.
The session meets once a month to discuss and address the ongoing mission and ministry of the church. Session has authority over financial and budgeting issues, church membership, staffing issues (with the exception of the pastors whose call to the church is authorized by the congregation), and generally most matters of the church. Each elder chairs or participates on a committee of the session, and while serving on session is expected to take a full leadership role in the church.
As in all matters of the church, the session is informed and abides by the rule of the Book of Order of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
