New Elders 2021
The Session of Gale Presbyterian Church is the group that discerns and directs our ministry in our community. It is made up of men and women who feel called to take up leadership in the church.
Every two years some members (called Elders) retire from this group and new members join. We are now searching for new Elders and we request your input in the nominating process. We are looking for 5-6 persons to serve a 6 year term.
There is a form available for anyone to make suggestions of who they believe would serve well in this capacity. You can get the form from the office, from your elder or emailed to you. Any current member of Session and Rev. Sinclair are available to answer any question you may have about this essential role in our ministry.
Please use this opportunity to assist the Gale Session as we move forward into a vibrant future.
