Trinity's Church Council

Trinity is governed by a Church Council of 20 persons, elected for a five-year term of office.  Pastor Mitchell is President of the Council and President of the Congregation.  Each year a "lay leader" is elected who serves as Vice-President of the Church Council and Congregation and as head of the Personnel Committee. 

 

The Council meets on the second Tuesday of each month in Meeting Rooms A and B.  They oversee all congregational operations and all staff. Each year they prepare the budget for the following year.  Any member is eligible to run for the Church Council.  This election is held at the Annual Congregational meeting, which is held on the first Sunday evening of May, in the Sanctuary.  The budget is an annual one, ending December 31.  The congregation does not vote on the budget, entrusting that to the Council.
