How Things Work

 

 

Pine Island Presbyterian Church is governed by two groups of people elected by the congregation: the Session and the Board of Deacons. Pine Island Presbyterian Church is a member congregation of the Presbytery of Lake Michigan and the Presbyterian Church (USA). The governing documents for the Presbyterian Church are the Book of Confessions and the Book of Order.

Session

The Session is a governing body made up of persons elected by the congregation to serve as Elders. Elders are ordained and installed to the position of Elder and have responsibility for the oversight of the congregation. Members of the session are responsible for Christian Education, Facilities and Administration, Personnel, Stewardship and Finance, Worship, and Evangelism.

Board of Deacons

The Board of Deacons is made up of persons elected by the congregation to serve as deacons. The Deasons are also ordained to serve the congregation and the community. Members of the Board of Deacons are responsible for Caregiving, Mission and Outreach, Fellowship, and Communion Preparation.

Committees and Task Groups

Most of the work that the church does is carried out by groups of people and individuals who volunteer to be responsible for ministry areas or to carry out tasks. Anyone who participates at Pine Island is welcome to join in these committees and task groups. Special opportunities are listed regularly in the bulletin and newsletter.
