Church Council
Acting on behalf of the congregation, the Council is responsible for the oversight of the church's life: sets priorities, makes policy decisions and oversees major projects that transcend any one ministry. The Council is composed of four officers and seven at-large representatives and is elected by the congregation for a two year term.
Officers
We have four officers:
Moderator: The key lay leader for the congregation, who conducts meetings of the council and the congregation and is the legal agent for the church.
Vice Moderator: assists the Moderator and acts in the moderator's stead when necessary.
Clerk: The secretary to the Congregation and Council.
Treasurer: the chief financial officer of the
church.
Together, along with the Senior Pastor, the officers form the Executive Committee of the Council, which meets each month to review progress of matters before the church and Council and set the Council's agenda.
At Large Members
These seven people are elected to the Church Council without any particular area of concern. However, each of them selects a Ministry or Committee to which they become the Council's liaison. They do not chair these groups, but they do participate in their work and report to the Council on issues of policy or areas of conflict.
The Pastor(s) is/are ex-officio member(s) of the Church Council. The Church Council works with the pastor(s) to clarify his/her goals and evaluate his/her performance.
