Church Council

Our congregation is organized democratically and elects a Church Council to whom it delegates much of the business and policy-making of the church. The congregation elects Church Council members.

Church Council is responsible for conducting the business of the church between meetings of the congregation, in accordance with the bylaws. The Council acts for the congregation in such aspects of church life as finance, policy, property, and non-ministerial staff.

If you would like to see minutes from a past meeting, please contact the church office for a copy.

Church Council recently clarified our methods of communication and created a guide that’s easy to follow and clearly directs people to the right contact person based on their question or concern. Here is that new document, which can help you

• Know who the key contacts are in the church
• Know how decisions are made in the church
• Know who to reach out to if you have conflicts with others at the church

The church has a policy manual that is maintained by Church Council can be viewed by clicking on the button below. Any questions about the policy can be directed to Church Council President at president@uucantonny.org.
