Congregational Governing Body

In the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Session is the decision-making body of the local congregation. At Augusta Stone, Session members—called “Elders”—are elected for three-year terms. We have fifteen active elders serving on the Session. Five elders are elected by the congregation each year and ordained, and at the same time five elders who have served a three-year term rotate off the Session and become Inactive Elders.  
The Session of Augusta Stone meets on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the lower level of John Craig Hall. Meetings are moderated by the minister and any interested persons may attend.  
Active Elders include: 
Class of 2008:  Judy Durham, Ralph Guffey, Mary Ann Rubush, Tim Wade, Mark Wilson
