Our Leaders

Session

The Session – our elected Ruling Elders and The Reverend Laura Fitzgibbon – meet monthly to guide the church in living out its vision.

Ruling Elders are nominated and elected by the congregation to serve three-year terms on the Session. Together with our Pastor, they exercise leadership, governance, and discipline and have responsibilities for the life of our church. The session commits to serve the congregation leading with energy, imagination, intelligence and love. When no longer actively serving on session, Ruling Elders continue to serve as strong leaders across the congregation.

Moderator: The Reverend Laura Fitzgibbon         Clerk: Pat Hodgdon

Deacons

Deacons are the members of our congregation to whom the Session has delegated the task of reaching out to the sick, the needy, the hungry, and the lonely. Our Deacons carry out their ministry in many wonderful ways, including: sending care packages to our college students and those serving in the military, visiting those who are ill or homebound, organizing meals for those who have a need because of illness, providing rides to and from Sunday worship, and reaching out to those who need prayer and help.
Deacons are nominated and elected by the congregation for three-year terms. The Board of Deacons meets monthly.
