The Session is the name for those elected by the congregation to help lead the church in the ways of Jesus Christ.  There are currently about a dozen of these dedicated people doing what Session members have never done before. 

In the past, these persons have chaired the various committees of the church.  These committees, that oversee the current programs and operations of the church, are now chaired by at-large members.  The Session is divided up into ministry teams that are leading the church in new directions that we believe are faithful to God and equip and strengthen us to more effectively serve Jesus Christ.  There are four of these teams:

The Worship Team – this team is considering new directions for worship, the possibility of moving toward a “blended” Sunday morning worship hour, assessing any creative innovations that would enhance our worship hour, and looking at adding other special worship celebrations throughout the year, beyond what’s already in place.  The purpose is to enhance worship for this family of faith in addition to attracting new people into this warm, loving, and serving fellowship.  This team is comprised of Patrick Smith and Amy McCorkle .

The Stewardship Team – this team works to educate our people about what it means to be a steward, a servant of what God, in Jesus Christ, has so graciously given to us.  They want the church to understand that stewardship is a way of life that involves the giving of money, time, and talent.  There are numerous ministries going on here that our people need to understand about and to be encouraged to support.  This team devises the best and most faithful ways to reach this end.  Those who serve on this team are:  Rick Deal, Tommy Halcomb, and Nancy Sanford.

The Nurture Team – this team oversees the beginning and expansion of all faith-growing opportunities in the life of the church outside of Sunday School.  These include:  small group ministry, expansion of the Disciple Bible Study program, the scheduling of enrichment classes dealing with the basics of Christian faith and practice, new faith initiatives with our youth and children, and the creation of prayer and other types of support groups.  These team members are:  David Dotson, Mary Joyce Hobson, and Opal Parker.

Community Mission Team – This group is charged with initiating new outreach ministries into the community in a way that will personally involve a significant number of our church people in these mission directives.  This team is composed of:  Braxton Ashe, Eddie Galliano, and Roger Tarbox.
