The congregation continues as the source of our mission, priorities, and inspiration.

The elected, representative board of trustees is charged with the following:

• determining the outcomes that the church wants to achieve
• setting broad policies that limit the staff to practices that are legal, prudent, and ethical
• monitoring adherence to those policies

The board will now be more focused on the future of the church, looking for creative ways to further the goals and ideals of UUC and the wider community.

Led by the senior minister, the staff is entrusted to interpret the policies, perform their roles with professionalism, and put plans and activities in motion to achieve the desired outcomes. Volunteers within UUC are granted the same trust and share the same responsibility as the staff.

The congregation and others take part in programs as participants and lay leaders.
