OUR FORM OF GOVERNANCE

The Presbyterian Church is a representative democracy governed by individuals elected from and by the congregation. Authority in the Presbyterian Church resides with the duly elected representatives of the congregation in the appointed church governing bodies. Lakeside Presbyterian Church is governed by the Session.

 

The Session
The Session usually meets on the third Tuesday of every month at 6:30 in the Rogers Chapel for worship and at 7:00 PM in the Fireside Room for the discernment time of decision making. Session meetings are open to all visitors.  The Session Committees are: Stewardship, Building and Grounds, Lakeside Children's Center, Christian Education, Celebration, Mission, Personnel, Stewardship, and Worship and the Arts.  To contact the Session, call our church office at 415-564-8833.
