The Consistory of the Congregation

The Reformed Church in America governs itself by means of presbyterian polity, that is, the rule of elders.  Elders are women and men chosen from the congregation to oversee the spiritual life and health of the congregation and ordained for life to that holy office.  They are joined by Deacons, men and women likewise ordained to that office, who superintend the temporal affairs of the church.  They, together with the Minister of the Word and Sacrament, constitute the Consistory.

Our Consistory meets every month on the second Wednesday at 7:00 in the evening.  All members of the church are welcome to attend our meetings to observe or to bring business to the attention of the Consistory.  Advance notice of new business is appreciated—agendae are usually distributed to Consistory members the Sunday previous to the meeting.
