St. Andrew's Session
The governing body or Session of St. Andrew’s is comprised of Ruling Elders, elected by the congregation, with Pastor Linda Graham at the helm. Elders are members that have been called by God, and after prayerful discernment accept the call of the congregation to represent and make decisions concerning the life of the church. Session is led, guided, and nurtured by Pastor Linda Graham. Elders are ordained in a special ceremony and installed to the governing body in three year terms. They typically have a committee that they work with or are responsible for. All areas of St. Andrew’s life are served by the Session: its education, mission, nurture, facility, business, and the worship of our LORD Jesus Christ. The Session and Pastor meet regularly to carry out the work of the church and to pray for its membership, friends, and the world. Committee work is led by a Session member, and utilizes the gifts and talents of the family of St. Andrew’s. There is always some way for every individual to contribute to the life of St. Andrew’s. One just needs to ask “what can I do to help?”
Oslynbrie (Ozzy) Dobbs
Ozzy is our Secretary here at St. Andrew's and provides the church with all the basic job duties of a secretary, social media administrator, website designer/ manager, back-up tech support for Sunday mornings and much more. Ozzy started working for us May 1st, 2018. When she learned of the open position, she felt a "called" feeling- like she was meant to do this, once she began working with us things slowly began to fall in place. She enjoys writing, drawing, painting, doing many other forms of art, watching and collecting superheros, comic books, giant pandas, playing all kinds of games and cuddling with her husband, two sons and three "fur" babies at home. Most recently, Ozzy has joined St. Andrew's as an offical member, through reaffirmation of faith. She is excited to see where she can help out and go from here.
