Committees of the Congregation Council

Executive Committee
The Executive Committee consists of the President, Vice President and Secretary of the Congregation Council, the chairs of the Administration and Personnel and the Finance Committees, the Senior Pastor and any other persons appointed by the President.  Between meetings of the Congregation Council, the Executive Committee has all of the authority of the Congregation Council, with the exception of borrowing money.  The Executive Committee is periodically called upon to act in place of the Congregation Council between meetings of the Council when routine actions are required that are time sensitive or when it is impractical or impossible to convene the entire Council.

Administration and Personnel Committee
The Administration and Personnel (A&P) Committee is the Human Resources Department of the Church and is involved in all employment areas - salary, health insurance, pension - for both the rostered staff and lay employees.  The Committee is also responsible for administering, reviewing and updating the policies and procedures that guide the congregation.
