Session

The church Session consists of the pastor, associate pastor(s), if any, and the ruling elders of a church. The pastor, by virtue of his office, functions as the moderator of the Session.  Pastors are teaching elders; they preach, teach, and administer the sacraments.  Ruling elders are elected by the congregation and are responsible for the supervision of the spiritual life of the church, including ministries, worship, budgets, pastoral care, and discipline.  The Session meets regularly monthly, or more often as needed.

Those currently serving on the Session are:

  • Joe Kirkpatrick (Emeritus)
  • Bert Barber (Emeritus)
  • Rev. Freddy Fritz (Pastor and Moderator)
  • Ed Jordan (Clerk of Session)
  • Ken Pothoven (Emeritus)
