The session is made up of the Pastor (moderator) plus the elders in active service (ruling elders). Bethel has thirteen active elders divided into three “classes.” New elders are elected each year to replace those whose term has expired. Once ordained, one is always an elder – either active (ruling elder) or inactive (teaching elder). The session has authority over all organizations within the local church. Bethel's Clerk of Session is nominated and elected by the session annually; currently a teaching elder serves as Clerk of Session but does not vote.
