Session

The ZPC session is comprised of the called pastors who are ordained Ministers of the Word and Sacrament of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the twelve lay church members who have been elected as elders. The session is the governing board of a Presbyterian church, a group of women and men who are elected by the congregation to serve three-year terms as the overseers and policy-makers of a church’s entire ministry. Areas of oversight include administration, personnel, missions, education, property, finances, evangelism, worship, and the spiritual development of members.

The session meets most first Tuesdays of each month from 6:30–9 pm. Unless an executive session is called, these meetings are open to ZPC members and subject to the session's open meeting policy (PDF). Please read this policy prior to attending.
