Committees

Session

The work of the Session of the First Presbyterian Church of Fenton is divided into seven areas, each of which is assigned to a committee of the Session.

Two Elders serve on each committee, with one designated as chairperson and the other as vice-chairperson.

The rest of each committee is made up of co-opted members of the congregation.

The pastor has ex-officio standing on all of the committees.

The committees are:

Administration This committee oversees the work of the church as it pertains to the effective running of the business affairs of the church.
Christian Education This committee has general oversight over all educational programs of the church as well as youth fellowship activities.
Congregational Life This committee is responsible for the general life of the congregation, including fellowship activities, review of church rolls and care of members.
Mission and Stewardship This committee oversees the church's mission efforts and social concern activities, by suggesting local mission projects to the Session and interpreting the mission work of the presbytery, synod and general assembly. It also keeps important social issues before the entire church family.
New Member and Outreach This committee is responsible for developing strategies for evangelism and securing new members for the church, by helping the church proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ and sharing its story with the community.
Worship This committee works with the pastor and music staff to plan the worship experiences for the church.
Nominating This is a committee of the congregation, under the leadership of one Session member, entrusted with the task of making nominations to the congregation, in accordance with the church By-laws, for Elder-Trustees, Deacons, and at-large members of the Nominating Committee.
