Current Session Discussions

The Session is currently working on the following topics:

  • Session is beginning the budgeting process for 2009. The current economic conditions are a matter for concern and prayer as we seek God's guidance.
  • Session is thankful for the good attendance at the recent Global Church Conference and especially the resulting increased awareness and actions supporting victims of global slavery and poverty.
  • Our $12 M mortgage for the recent campus improvements was just refinanced on very favorable terms. However, Session continues to support the CCIII efforts to reduce (if not retire!) this debt so our members' gifts will be supporting ministries instead of paying interest.
