Session
The name Presbyterian is derived from the Greek word
for elder. Presbyterian congregations are distinguished by
electing women and men to serve in the office of elder and oversee
the ministry and mission of the church. Abington Presbyterian
Church has 21 elders who serve in three classes. They, with
the pastors, make up the Session, the official governing
body of the church.
The clerk of our session is Bruce Castor.
