Our Governance

St. Paul Lutheran Church fulfills its mission through the integrated efforts of staff, Congregation Council, officers, appointed positions, committees, task forces and the time and talent contributions of individual members. We are guided by the Holy Spirit in all that we do.

 

To facilitate this process we operate under a Constitution that provides fundamental guidance, Bylaws that provide basic operating committee structure and Continuing Resolutions that provide policies and operating duties and processes.

Church Council

Council is comprised of nine (9) members elected by the congregation to serve in one of the following positions. 

  • President
  • Vice President
  • Immediate Past President
  • Secretary
  • Director of Finance
  • Member-at-Large 1
  • Member-at-Large 2
  • Member-at-Large 3
  • Member-at-Large 4

Each position is a three (3) year term with the exception of president positions. When the Congregation elects a Vice President, that individual serves their first year as Vice President, their second year as President, and their third year as Immediate Past President, for a total of three (3) years of service. 

Committees

Committees are a vital part of St. Paul. They are responsible for the normal business/ministries of St. Paul Lutheran Church. Committees are maintained to carry out the mission of the Congregation and assist the Council in carrying out its role. See below for a list of committees at St. Paul.
