There are two kinds of officers in the Presbyterian Church

We are governed by an elected board of 14 Elders called the Session.  The elders serving on the Session are also the Board of Trustees of the Corporation named Community Presbyterian Church of La Mirada.  The Session is made up of eight committees, each with specific responsibilities for leadership outlined in The Book of Order.  The Pastor is the moderator of Session and also attends most committee meetings in an advisory capacity.  The Clerk of Session serves as the recorder of all session business.  The eight committees are:

Worship

Christian Education   

Mission and Evangelism

Fellowship  

Stewardship and Finance

Buildings and Grounds

Administration and Personnel

Nominating

We are served by an elected board of Deacons, who offer encouragement, compassion and help to members of the congregation and community. 

All officers are elected to serve for a term of three years but do not serve more than 6 consecutive years.
