Annual Business Meeting
Every November, the members of the congregation gather to vote on the budget for the next year and for the board of directors that will represent the congregation in the business of the church.

2025 Board of Directors Slate
Below are the three individuals who are slated to join the board of directors if the congregation votes to approve them. Per our bylaws, members of the church for at least one year can apply for the board. Their applications are reviewed by a Board Nominating Committee who agrees on a slate of congregants for the congregation to vote for at the annual meeting. The congregation will vote for all three of these candidates to serve on the board if the majority rules in favor. However, if the majority votes no, none of these candidates will serve on the board in 2025.
