Church Council
The Church Council is composed of the following persons elected by the Annual Meeting of the Congregation: moderator; vice-moderator; treasurer; financial secretary; clerk; chairpersons or designated representatives of the Board of Trustees, Diaconate, Board for Education and Growth, Board for Mission and Service, and Board for Membership and Hospitality, and two members at large. A representative of Plymouth Union and the most recent former moderator are also members of the Church Council.

The Council has general supervision and direction of the affairs of the Church in all matters not otherwise provided for in the Church Bylaws, so long as none of its actions conflict with actions taken by the Church. It appoints special teams as necessary, and has the power to appoint Officers and Board members to fill vacancies.

The Council is an advisory board to review, counsel and coordinate the activities of the various departments of the Church to insure harmony and efficiency, and it advises the Church on matters of policy and administration. The Council meets at least quarterly, at the call of the Pastor or Moderator or any other three members of the Church Council.

Specific responsibilities of the Council include pastor-parish relations, guidance and direction of all personnel matters, and oversight of relations with other churches and organizations.
