Purpose of the Council
The Leadership Council is elected by the members of the congregation to carry out the governance of the congregation in-between Annual Meetings in service of the congregation’s mission: “to worship God and share the love of Jesus Christ, teaching the message of Jesus to all ages and putting our faith into action.”
The Mission of the Council
• To prayerfully and thoughtfully interpret and enact the Community Church’s mission, vision and values and to provide leadership and strategic direction.
• To safeguard the assets of the church, and to ensure adequate resources (human, spiritual, financial, and facility).
• To support, direct and partner with the church staff team.
