Session

Together with Pastor David, our Elders exercise leadership, government and discipline and have responsibilities for the life of a particular church ministry as well as the church at large. Session members include:  Vicki Clark, Brent Holbert, Doug Spangler, Tom Skoulis, Ken Rathburn, Andy Gurd, Irish Bowers, Brett Challacombe, Laney Burgdoerfer and Mark Schroer.

Elders are chosen by the congregation and serve 3-year terms, directing their particular ministries. Session meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month and all key discussions and decisions are communicated to the congregation after the meetings.

Deacons

Our Deacons are also chosen by the congregation and serve 3-year terms; they meet monthly on the first Monday of each month. They spend time ministering to those who are in need, to the sick, to the friendless, and to any who may be in distress, both within and beyond the community of faith. Our Deacons include:

Sarah Underhill, Megan Campbell, Steve Schehl, Karen Koenig, Nancy Sharp, Rob Milligan, Matt Phillips, David Sarkisian, Martyn Hughes and Evelyn Walker.
