Session, Deacons and Trustees

Session Organization

In the Presbyterian form of church government, Ruling Elders are elected by the congregation; and they constitute, along with any ministers called by the church, the Session of that church.  At Westminster the Ruling Elders are divided into three classes, elected each year and serving a three-year term.
