A Presbyterian congregation is led and governed by a council of Elders called a Session. They have the primary responsibility to manage and advance ministries and missions through committees of members and friends, to be active in the community in the name of Christ, and to serve in the larger denominational levels (the presbytery, the synod, and the general assembly).
Committees of the FPC Session are:
- Christian Education
- Congregational Life and Membership
- Finance
- Mission and Evangelism
- Personnel and Administration
- Property
- Worship
