Who are the elders?
The church is governed by a board of elected elders, called "the Session." Session is moderated by the pastor of the church, and includes a clerk who keeps records of all the meetings. Bethany's Session meets the fourth Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m.
Elders are elected to serve designated terms of office and they oversee the work of various “commissions” (committees) comprised of other church volunteers. Elders are ordained to their office during a worship service.
