Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is the governing body of the church. Members are elected at the annual congregational meeting and serve from 1 to 3 years. The Board is empowered to make decisions as the representatives of the congregation related to the “big picture” of the church and is its legal representative. The Board’s four main areas of focus include: vision, policy, finance and personnel. As a visioning Board it is charged with thinking about how we might grow and evolve as a spiritual community and live out our mission statement. The Board works in conjunction with the Minister in a governance partnership. It is the Minister who supports the staff and together they work day to day to help realize its dreams and visions and support the wider congregation.

Best Practices of the Board

The Board will seek congregational input when setting policy and making decisions that would create a major departure from current practices.

Regular board meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. All board meetings are open and members are welcome to attend.

If you have specific items that you would like the Board to consider, please bring them discussed and relegated to the appropriate governance body so that your concern can be put on the agenda.
