Session is the governing body for our church. It is comprised of elders, women and men elected and ordained by the congregation, who exercise leadership, government, and discipline on behalf of West New Bern Presbyterian Church. Their primary charge is to seek to discover and represent the will of Christ as they govern.

Nine elders, which includes the clerk of session, and the pastor make up the session. Each elder serves for a term of three years, with a third of the session members rotating off each year to ensure stability.

Generally, the session meets on the second Tuesday of the month in the fellowship hall at 7:00 pm.
