Session
In the Presbyterian tradition, a congregation calls a minister and elects elders to form a Session to undertake spiritual oversight, leadership in mission, pastoral care and provide governance. Session also plays a role in the wider community. St. Margaret’s Session meets once a month.
Managers
The Board of Managers is elected at the St. Margaret’s Annual General Meeting. Led by the minister, they look after the maintenance of the buildings and church’s finances.
Family Team
The Family Team consists of representatives from each of the children and youth activities within the congregation together with the Minister and representatives from Session. The team has oversight of the activities for our young people, coordinating their programs for at least a term in advance. Additionally, it acts as a point of contact for all new families in the congregation.
