The Clerk of Session is the primary lay officer in the church and works closely with the Pastor involving the organization and effective functioning of the church. The Clerk is responsible for the maintenance of the official records of the church, including clear and concise minutes of all Session and Congregational meetings, the Church Register, policies and procedures, and the annual reports to higher governing bodies.
The Clerk of Session shall be a ruling elder elected by the Session for such a term as it may determine. It has been the practice of Grace Presbyterian Church that the Clerk of Session be a ruling elder serving on Session.
