CHURCH GOVERNANCE
FCUCC's CHURCH COUNCIL is the decision-making body in the church, comprised of Chairs from each church ministry (Trustees, Deacons, Christian Ed, Memorial Committee, Group Fellowship, and the Pastoral Staff) and meets monthly. All church members are welcome to attend church council meetings.
FCUCC's BOARD OF TRUSTEES manages the budget and decisions needed to maintain our building, grounds, budget and personnel.
FCUCC's BOARD OF DIACONATE supports worship by collaborating with the pastor on creative worship and special events, recruits summer music, and distributes communion. The Membership & Fellowship Committee and the Justice Committee are committees of the Board of Diaconate. Membership & Fellowship coordinates and promotes fellowship events, shepherds new members, and highlights important times in the lives of our church community. The Justice & Mission Committee plans and manages Justice Education, as well as our church's community outreach, donations, and charity.
FCUCC's CHRISTIAN EDUCATION manages Sunday School lessons, Vacation Bible School, and Youth Fellowship and Mission events.
