CHURCH LEADERSHIP


"So he shepherded them according to the integrity in his heart, and guided them with his skillful hands." 

    -- Psalm 78:72

 

THE SESSION   

In the Presbyterian system of self-government,  the congregation elects a group of Elders to be its representatives. That group, called the Session, has the responsibility and power to guide that particular church in matters concerning the life of that church. The pastor joins the Elders as Session Moderator.  The Session at First Presbyterian Waynesville typically has nine Elders, each serving a three-year term.
