Session
Leadership of our church by members within our congregation is one of our unique features. We elect from our membership women and men who serve as spiritual and practical leaders called Ruling Elders, who form a leadership cabinet called The Session. Every year we elect new Ruling Elders to serve along with the Pastors. The Session is responsible for most of the decisions at The Kirk – everything from mundane building matters to the direction of our service ministries. The Session members seek out God’s direction for our community and work to help us become a community of faith, hope, love, and witness.

Deacons
According to scripture, Deacons are people who help us serve others with compassion, witness, and service, sharing the love of God with the poor, the sick, the lost, the friendless, the oppressed, those burdened by unjust policies or structures, or anyone in distress. Two of our deacons help the pastor with pastoral care, coordinating efforts during times of illness or individual need. Our other two deacons coordinate small group programs and social activities.
