Congregational Leadership

  The Session is the elected leadership from within the congregation.


The congregation of Lake Nokomis Presbyterian Church is minister to and with one another.

As a part of the Presbyterian Church (USA), the congregation is led by an elected group of members, the Session.   The Pastor acts as moderator and guide for the group.  The Session is responsible for directing the ministry and mission of the congregation.

The Session of LNPC is comprised of nine members, each serving a three year term.  Their responsibilities are in transition as the congregation moves into a new way of 'being church,' but will encompass care of the property, worship, education, and engagement in the community.
