We are governed by a democratically elected Board of Trustees.
The Board is our church members’ voice between congregational meetings. Board members hold fiduciary responsibility, seeking to act in the church’s best interests. The Board meets monthly during most of the year, usually on the 4th Wednesday on Zoom. Church members may observe the meeting and/ or request to speak*. The minutes from each Board meeting, after approval at the following meeting, are available in a notebook in the Commons area. A short summary will be provided in the weekly newsletter, and posted below in the Splinters from the board summaries section. SCROLL DOWN TO SEE SUMMARIES.
