Parish Committee

The Lay Leadership

The Parish Committee is the governing body of the church. It sets policy and recommends an operating budget to the Annual Meeting of the parish. The co-chairs act as liaison between church members and the Parish Committee.

Members of the Parish Committee include:

  • the Parish co-chairs
  • the Treasurer and Collector of the Church
  • the Parish Committee Secretary
  • the chairs of the various church committees and ministries as well as the presidents of the Woman's Alliance and the Unity Club.

The minister is an ex-officio member of the Parish Committee. Additionally, the chairs of eight standing sub-committees comprise the Parish Committee.
