Kirk Session   "The Session is comprised of a group of elders elected by the congregation and ordained to rule in the church.  The elders, along with the minister, share in the pastoral care of the congregation.  Election to the eldership is a call of God, through the congregation, for service in Christ's church. 

Since eldership is a spiritual office concerned with exercising authority in the areas of membership, nurture, worship, education, sacraments, stewardship and missions, only suitable men and women should be considered.  They should be committed Christians, in regular attendance at public worship, persons of sound judgement and upright character, and either knowledgeable of, or prepared to learn, the government of the church. (derived from the Book of Forms, section 132)."  Meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in the church parlour."

Board of Managers - "The duties of the board of managers have special regard to the temporal and financial affairs of the congregation.  It is their duty to co-operate closely with the session, which is responsible for all aspects of stewardship, in encouraging the liberality of the people in support of the congregation's total ministry, and to disburse all moneys received for this purpose, subject to the approval of the congregation; to provide for the payment of the minister's stipend and other salaries; and generally to administer all matters committed to their charge as the congregation may from time to time direct.

It is the duty of the board of managers to care for the place of worship and other ecclesiastical buildings, and to see that they are kept in good condition and repair. (derived from the Book of Forms, section 162 & 163)."
