Church Council at Advent Lutheran Church

WORSHIP GOD. FOLLOW JESUS.

SERVE OTHERS. MAKE DISCIPLES.

What is a Church Council? The Church Council acts as Advent's Board of Directors. There are 9 people elected for a term of 2 years on a rotational basis. The Council meets once a month, on the third Monday starting at 6:30 pm.

Each Council member serves as a council liaison to one standing committee (typically meets once a month). Council members are available to church members and visitors for comments, concerns and compliments.

Craig runs AdventELC Council meetings, Congregational meetings, and also serves on the Administration Team.
