The United Methodist Church is intentionally decentralized and democratic. Clergy and laity alike help determine the ministry and workings of The United Methodist Church as a whole and our church in specific. It is individuals, the people called United Methodists, who make possible the connection of hearts, minds, hands and lives as the body of Christ around the world.
In this spirit, we manage our church through a series of councils, committees, and teams composed of church staff, lay leaders, and individuals who have specific interests in particular ministries. These committees and their membership are outlined below.
Feel free to contact any of the committee chairs if you have a question, concern, or praise you'd like to share—or to volunteer!
