Church Leadership

Fairmont is led by a church council called the Session, consisting of twelve people called Elders. The Pastor serves as the moderator of the Session. The property of the church (physical and financial) is maintained by a separate board called the Trustees. Finally, the Deacons oversee the caring ministries of the church. Together the Session, Trustees, and Deacons serve as the officers of Fairmont. The congregation chooses the members of the Session, Trustees, and Deacons and all members of the church can serve. 

Elders

Elders serve on the Session to strengthen and nurture the faith and life of the congregation. Together with the pastors, the Elders are responsible for all aspects of the life of Fairmont Church. 

Deacons

Deacons are the caregivers of the congregation. They visit with people who are sick or homebound, provide receptions after funerals, prepare the elements for communion, and plan and host various church activities. 

Trustees

Trustees manage the church property and oversee all the finances. The Board of Trustees elect a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and assistant treasurer each year. The elected treasurer is, upon Session approval, also the church treasurer.
