Meet the Session
The Session of Providence Presbyterian Church consists of eight elders in active service and Pastor Mary Montei Clark, who serves as moderator and chair of the Building and Grounds Team. The Session is responsible for the mission and government of the church. Our Session seeks to be a leadership team that discerns, shares ideas, and builds up each other and the church. Every voice is heard, and the Session represents the thoughts, feelings, and ideas of the entire congregation.
Meetings are held once a month, and the Session also meets for a weekend retreat each fall to fellowship and discuss visions and goals for the coming year.
