Serving as a Board member is a rewarding experience that includes the following responsibilities:

• Attend all regular and specially called meetings of the Board of Trustees
• Represent the board as a liaison to one or more church ministries
• Consult with staff regarding the operation of the church
• Listen to opinions and feelings of the congregation and reflect the sense of these conversations in deliberations within the board, ministries and committees
• Learn about all facets of the church such as the different ministries it supports, the activities of committees, the needs and responsibilities of staff, short- and long-range planning, and the budgeting process

Being a pledging/tithing member of the church

History of church involvement

Ability to express one’s own opinion, listen carefully to the merit of those held by others, and work toward consensus

Willingness and ability to devote time and effort necessary to conduct the church’s affairs effectively for the duration of the term

Patience and commitment

Trustees serve one to three year terms. The congregation each year in March elects new trustees to the board. In September, the Trustees Nominating Team collects applications and interviews interested board candidates to select a slate for election by the congregation. Candidates who replace Trustees at term’s end are presented to the Board for approval. If you would like more information on becoming a Trustee, contact the church office.

The Board of Trustees typically meets on the third Saturday of the month at 10am in the Fellowship Hall. Minutes of each board meeting are available upon request.
