Introduction
In 2017 Saint Paul’s changed the governing structure to a Governing Board that includes some of the committees that had been freestanding before (Trustees, Staff Parish – Human Resources and Finance). The Governing Board (GB) is responsible for the governance of the church which includes oversight of staffing, finance and facilities. The GB is focused on the church’s mission, vision, values and strategy. It has responsibility for policy and procedure. The GB sets the budget and provides financial oversight. The GB also is responsible for aligning ministries, staff, facilities, budget and calendar to the mission, vision and values and setting goals accordingly. The missions committees of the church were brought into a Core Ministry Team. The Core Ministry team is comprised of the leaders of every ministry team. To learn more see the following web materials.
