JOB DESCRIPTIONSThe Council of Elders (3-year term)
The council is responsible for the spiritual, financial, physical, and overall welfare of the Church. The council comprises 15 members, the Clerk, and the Treasurer, to be elected from the active membership of the Church at the annual Fall Election Meeting. In addition, there is one representative from each denomination. The typical meeting schedule for the Elders includes a ministry meeting on the 2nd or 3rd Tuesday of each month and the Elder's meeting on the 4th Tuesday of each month. Usually, the Elders take a month off in the summer (July) and do not meet in December. Ministry meetings can vary and be rescheduled as needed. Special meetings can be called by the Chair of Elders when needed. Elders are elected to serve a three-year term. New members take office on January 1.
Nomination Committee (2-year term)
The nomination committee has eight members and typically meets annually in August to recruit and select candidates for Elders and the Nomination Committee slate for the congregation to vote on during the annual fall meeting. Members are elected to serve two-year terms and must take a year off before serving again on this committee.
