Board of Deacons

The Board of Deacons is entrusted with our mission activities both within and exterior to our Church. The 12 members elect their Moderator, Vice-Moderator, Secretary, and Treasurer. Four members are elected at the annual congregational meeting each Fall from a slate of candidates presented by the Nominating Committee which consists of members of the Congregation at large, the Session, and the Deacons.
