Congregation Council
One Shepherd, One Faith, One Flock United in Ministry
Major decisions like calling a pastor and approving the church’s annual budget are made by the membership in a democratic fashion. The congregation also elects a group of individuals to council officers for the purpose of making lesser decisions on behalf of the membership. The Congregation Council also appoints a Financial Secretary and Treasurer.
How is the council elected?
The council is a group of representatives elected by the congregation. Each year, an election is held to choose the council. The council members are nominated by the congregation. If a nominee accepts the nomination, they can be elected to council.
When does the council meet?
The council meets on the second Monday of each month. Each meeting is held at 6:30 PM via phone.
