General Information

Irondequoit Presbyterian Church is a protestant Christian congregation formed and following the teachings and polity of the Presbyterian Church (USA.) We are a member of the Presbytery of Genesee Valley, the Synod of the Northeast and the PCUSA.

While worship is at the center of our life together, Irondequoit Presbyterian Church also offers many additional opportunities for spiritual development, fellowship, and service through participation on a variety of church committees, activities, and special events.

Listed below are the committees that support the workings of this church. All the committees welcome new members. Please check them out and see where you might best be able to serve.

Session

The Session is the governing body of the congregation; twelve of its members are elected as Elders by and from the congregation for three-year terms of office. These Elders also chair the several committees of our church. The pastor is the moderator of the Session and an ex-officio member of all church committees. The Session is responsible for all church committees, overall church mission and spiritual leadership. The Session typically meets the 3rd Monday of the month.

Deacons

The Board of Deacons consists of members of our congregation elected to minister among us; Deacons ‘shepherd’ our members by keeping in weekly contact with their ‘assigned’ parishioners and coordinating any member’s ‘special needs’. Deacons also serve on several of the committees of our church. The elected board of 12 Deacons ministers to shut-ins, to the ill or bereaved and to those with special needs. Deacons will meet the third Sunday of the month after the morning service is concluded.
