Session

The church Session consists of the pastor, associate pastor(s), if any, and the ruling elders of a church. The pastor, by virtue of his office, functions as the moderator of the Session. Pastors are teaching elders; they preach, teach, and administer the sacraments. Ruling elders are elected by the congregation and are responsible for the supervision of the spiritual life of the church, including ministries, worship, budgets, pastoral care, and discipline. The Session meets regularly monthly, or more often as needed.

Those currently serving on the Session are:

• Todd Bayley
• Rev. Freddy Fritz (Pastor and Moderator)
• Ed Jordan (Clerk of Session)
• Alex Rogers (RE Nominee)
• Rich Thompson
• Bert Barber (Emeritus)
• Joe Kirkpatrick (Emeritus)
• Ken Pothoven (Emeritus)

Diaconate

The Deacons are responsible for the administration of our mercy ministries, providing physical and financial aid and prayer to those in need in our congregation as well as in our local community. They refer special prayer needs to our church prayer chain. TBPC mercy ministries also provide financial support to such international parachurch organizations as World Relief. The second area of diaconate responsibility is providing direct management of our church finances, with accountability to the Session. The third area of responsibility is maintenance of buildings and grounds. The Diaconate meets monthly, or more often as necessary.
