Introduction
In the PCUSA, both lay and clergy persons are valued equally. FPC (as with every individual congregation) has three church boards: the Session, the Board of Trustees and the Board of Deacons. Each elected officer serves on their respective boards for a three year term.
Session
The Session, which is the governing body of the church, is made up of twelve ordained elders, and is moderated by the pastor. The Session is responsible for the life and ministry of FPC. Particular responsibilities include: leading the congregation in mission, worship, administration of the sacraments, educational programing, pastoral care, fellowship and more.
Session Members:
Deacons
The Board of Deacons is the caring arm of the church. The Deacons serve the congregation with compassion and kindness, following Christ’s example. The ministry of the Board of Deacons includes: funeral meals, visitation, Willow Brook worship service, pastoral care and congregational care.
Board of Deacons:
Trustees
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the preservation and maintenance of the church building, apartments, Unity House, parking lots and all other FPC properties. FPC makes its properties available to the community and for the ministry of Jesus Christ.
