The session has the responsibility to provide for the administration of the programs of the church, including employment of ordained and non-ordained staff.  In our church, we have a 5-member committee, including 3 session members and 2 from the congregation at large.  Our duties include:

• Recommending personnel policies to the session.
• Presenting staff position descriptions and recommending changes to those job descriptions to the session as needed.
• Acting as a support group for the pastor and staff.
• Reviewing and recommending staff compensation packages to session.
• Conferring with the pastor on any important issues of concern.
