The Church Board is devoted to mission discernment, mission strategy, policy development, responsible stewardship of resources, long-range planning and accountability.
The Board holds the fiduciary responsibility for the congregation, the Duty of Care and Due Diligence, ensuring that its people, property and money are kept safe and that the congregation lives in concordance with its Guiding Principles.
The Board is responsible for maintaining the Membership Roll of United Churches of Langley and transmitting motions to the Pacific Mountain Region of The United Church of Canada.
The spiritual responsibilities of the Board include having an open, consultative and broad-based approach to leadership while making inspired and insightful decision making, creating policy, engaging in the discernment of the Church’s direction and showing reverence and empathy for all members of the congregation in providing a vision for the entire faith community.
Together, the Board and the Ministers guide the congregation in discerning the vision and articulating the mission through a spirit of open conversation and broad participatory decision-making practices in facilitating strategic planning, setting goals and overall directions, and stewardship.
The Board delegates some of its work to Board Committees. Board committees include (but are not limited to) Finance, Board of Trustees, Ministry & Personnel, Stewardship, and Property and Maintenance.
All faith community members are encouraged to participate on committees as per their gifts and passions.
