Committees

As a Presbyterian church, we are led and governed by elders elected from among our members along with our pastor.  The Session is our local governing body, and is currently structured to have 9 elected elders on the board, with our pastor serving as moderator.  Typically, each member of Session chairs a subcommittee of Session.  These subcommittees are listed below with the responsible elder and the meeting time, if regular meetings are scheduled.


If you feel called to serve in one of these areas, please speak to Pastor Austin or the Session member responsible for the committee.  Your help will allow us to have greater impact in our community and the world. 


If you have specific questions or would like to contact an elder or deacon, you can contact the church office at 734-8617 or email web@glenwoodpc.org.
