Session
All PC(USA) churches have a group of Elders who are elected by the congregation and who meet regularly to discern the call of God for the church. Our church constitution (called the Book of Order), explains what a session is by saying, “As there were in Old Testament times elders for the government of the people, so the New Testament church provided persons with particular gifts to sharing in discernment of God’s Spirit and governance of God’s people… Ruling elders, together with ministers of the Word and Sacrament, exercise leadership, government, spiritual discernment, and discipline and have responsibilities for the life of a congregation as well as the whole church, including ecumenical relationships. When elected by the congregation, they shall serve faithfully as members of the session.” Learn more about Sessions of the PC(USA) here.
