Belonging, Learning, Connecting in Grace

Church Board at Grace

2025- 26 Board Members

Congregational Board meetings are scheduled monthly – or more frequently, if needed to deal with major issues, recommendations, or cross-committee decisions. To be effective, the Congregational Board should not deal with routine issues and decisions that properly belong with the committees, teams and task groups. All members of committees and the congregation are invited to attend Board meetings. Everyone present at Board meetings is encouraged to share their views and opinions but when a vote is required, only the Official Board has voting privileges.

The Congregational Board consists of:

  • Board Co-Chairs*
  • Board Secretary
  • Treasurer
  • Regional Council Representatives
  • Members-at-Large (maximum of 3)
  • Minister (must be present)
  • All Members of the Congregational Board Committees **

* The Co-Chair, in attendance, who is not chairing the meeting may vote

**Congregational Board Committees:

(NOTE: When voting, each Committee has 2 Board votes (the Co-Chairs or a Chair and 1 Committee representative)
