Our main operating body is our Administrative Council.  It is assisted by several committees and by less formal groups

• The Trustees are responsible for the physical properties of the church
• The Finance Committee is responsible for raising, controlling, and using our funds
• The Committee on Lay Leadership is responsible for nominating and training our officers
• The Pastor-Parish Relations Committee helps maintain communication between our pastor and the congregation
• Committees on Education, Evangelism, Worship, Missions, and Memorials fill additional roles
