We are a self-governing congregation which elects a Congregational Board of leaders to serve the church. This board oversees the administrative structure of the church, which is divided into four ministry areas. Councils of volunteers oversee various aspects of each ministry area.
The Congregational Board’s Vision for Ministry for 2020-2021
- Activate our congregation, by empowering members, to communicate our unique message through words and deeds to the community.
- Be a catalyst for change in Kansas City through service projects, partnerships and forums that help us clarify how to faithfully address the root issues of injustice.
- Take the ministry to where people are rather than expecting them to come to us.
Other Congregational Board Information.
A note on the how and when board minutes are posted: Each month that the congregational board meets, it approves the minutes from the previous meeting. Minutes may not be posted until they are approved by the board, and any edits to the minutes must be finally approved by the board secretary before posting. The board generally meets on the second Tuesday of each month, although there are some exceptions.
