elder, and the pastor. We currently have 7 committees:

| It is a little known trivia fact that when our national form of government was being founded, the founders relied heavily on the Church of Scotland and its form of government as an outline. Our church government is a direct descen- dent of the Church of Scotland as well, so our polity (church government) bears a resemblance to our national government. |
| The Session is organized so that there is more than one elder for almost every committee. We have set aside specific times during which all committees meet, and open communication between committees is encouraged and enabled. If you wish to join a committee please see one of the elders on that committee, or the Pastor. |
