Our Governance
Under the Unitarian Universalist system of congregational polity, each congregation holds the power and authority to manage its own affairs. Each congregation also is in covenant with each independent member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
Our congregation has chosen to operate by a form of policy governance in which the board of trustees sets policies, vision, mission, and covenant, and oversees financial and fiduciary responsibilities with other lay leaders. The minister then oversees how we live out our mission through several ministry teams. Below are the roles of each of our committees, on the governance side.

Finance Committee
Oversees the congregation’s budget and financial operations.
Nominating Committee
