The governance of this congregation rests with our members. We hold congregational meetings annually to fill elected positions, approve the budget, and make other decisions. Members elect a Board of Trustees to have general charge of our affairs and property, and to formulate policies and recommend actions for the consideration of the congregation. Congregationally-elected and board-appointed committees assist the Board.
The Board meets at 6:30 pm on the fourth Wednesday of each month on zoom. All members of the congregation are invited to attend.
