In the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Session is responsible for the running of the church. The Session is made up of 18 elders, the Pastor, and the Associate Pastors and the Clerk of Session. Session members review and evaluate current programs, strategize and anticipate new or needed programs and personnel.

These Session members are elected by the membership of the church. Each Committee/Ministry Team shall consist of at least two current Session Elders, chaired by an active member of Session. The committees (listed below) will consist of two active lay members (not currently on Session, nominated by the Committee/Ministry Chair and approved by Session), a staff member, active members and regular attendees of the church. Regular attendees may serve, but only active members of GPC will have a vote.
