Session

The Session is the governing body for the church.

The Session has many responsibilities. However, their primary task is to develop the mission of the church and equip its members in the ministry of Jesus Christ. It is comprised of elders, both women and men, elected and ordained by the congregation. These elders are people who exercise leadership, government, and discipline in order to build up the body of Christ at Unity.

Our Session is made up of six elders, who serve for a term of three years, as well as the Minister, who serves as the Moderator of the Session. Two elders are elected each year, making 3 rotating classes of 2. A clerk of the session is elected annually. The clerk may be an active member of the session or a former member of the session.

Prior to ordination, elders are educated in reformed theology, church confessions, and church government. The session meets monthly.
