On Sunday, March 8, 2020, a presentation was made during both worship services that encompassed many talking points for the new proposal to transition from the existing teams (detailed below by each team & member) to a new structure that falls under the heading of "Simplified Board Structure." We have chosen to call this combined, less-complex structure the Executive Ministry Team.
On Sunday, June 7, 2020, our District Superintendent led a Charge Conference to switch our governance model to a Simplified Board.
This change is detailed below in the "presentation" and "job description" documentation.
Please feel free to review this information and let us know if you have any suggestions, questions or concerns.
We are praying for you and for our church to GO and GROW into the future!
"Love God, Love Others, Serve All!"
