A large part of being Presbyterian is that we govern ourselves. Our church leadership is made up of a Session of Elders and seven committees which guide the various aspects of our church. We have described each committee below, and each year we invite our members to participate and use their unique gifts and talents to serve on or assist one or more of these committees.
