Leadership

Comprised of the Pastor and Elders as voting members, the Session is the governing body of the church. Elders are elected by the congregation as ordained officers, serving three-year terms. Elders act as the spiritual overseers of the church, determining policy and exercising leadership, governance, and discipline, all while acting as shepherds to the congregation, setting an example for all.

The Session generally meets once a month on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 6:00 pm. Meetings are open to congregants and minutes are available from the church office.

Every year, the congregation elects a new class of Elders and Deacons to serve the church. The Nominating Committee is instrumental in this work, identifying potential officers and proposing a slate of candidates at the Annual Congregational Meeting each spring. Although they are not officers of the church, Nominating Committee members are elected by the congregation and serve one-year terms.

2026-2027: Jacob Lange (chair), Eric Taggesell, Chip Allen, Dan Gustafson, Bill Hutchinson, Barbara Roberts, Debbie Sweek and Diane Taylor.

St. Andrew is certified by PCUSA as an Earth Care Congregation. St Andrew formed a Green Team in 2019 with this mission: We are stewards of God's Earth. We are dedicated to protection and restoration of the environment, and to advocate for and exemplify sustainable practices. The Green Team is at work throughout the year cleaning our environment, educating our congregation, and building community around environmental causes.
