The church has a council, three boards and three standing committees responsible for the overall health of the church and charged with supporting specific administrative areas. Church members serve on these boards and committees on a rotating basis with new members being elected every year.

Church Council

Led by an elected moderator, the Church Council, comprised of officers, committee representatives and members-at-large, meets monthly to oversee policy and administration of the church. The Council is the governing body of the church and acts on the congregation’s behalf between congregational meetings.  The Council facilitates communications between various boards and committees. It also advises the Minister.

Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is in charge of the care and custody of church property and its financial affairs. It prepares and tracks the annual budget and oversees maintenance and use of church facilities.

Board of Ministries

The Board of Ministries oversees all the program activity of the church. It is responsible for forming and guiding the work of the ministry teams. It also provides mentors to the ministry teams.  The Board of Ministries is made up of both lay members and church staff.

Preschool Board

The Preschool Board operates and maintains a warm and supportive preschool, seeking to help each child develop to his or her greatest potential, with meaningful experiences for both child and family. The Board cooperates with all church Boards and Committees, but has independent authority to select its own staff, establish its own policy and rules, and maintain its separate financial accounts. It is represented on the Church Council.
