“The Session” refers to the currently serving elders who are responsible for the overall ministry of the church, plus the pastor.  Session meets the 2nd Sunday at 11:15 am in the ORPC main office classroom. 

The Presbyterian Book of Order (G-3.0201) specifies the Session as “the council for the congregation. It shall be composed of those persons elected by the congregation to active service as ruling elders, together with all installed pastors and associate pastors.”  It also says that “The session shall have responsibility for governing the congregation and guiding its witness to the sovereign activity of God in the world so that the congregation is and becomes a community of faith, hope, love, and witness.”  Not mentioned specifically in this list are the responsibility of keeping the church facility warm and dry, paying the bills, etc.  So the Session’s responsibilities run the gamut from approving the church calendar to reviewing how we maintain our facility.  Elders are normally elected to a three-year term.
