The Board of Trustees is entrusted with the responsibility of managing the property and funds of the church. Members are elected to staggered three-year terms at the annual meeting and meet monthly to review facility and financial needs. They have significant input into the annual operating budget and make day-to day operational decisions within the financial parameters set at the annual meeting and by session.
To ensure confidentiality and security, pairs of trustees count, record, and deposit offerings immediately after each Sunday morning worship service. They work hand-in-hand with the treasurer and assistant treasurer to review and recommend policies and procedures relative to the handling of church funds and member giving record keeping.
The Trustees coordinate getting light maintenance and repair projects done in the church, office building, and manse. Much of this work is accomplished by the “Wednesday Night Boys,” a group of dedicated and skilled volunteers who have been meeting regularly on Wednesday evenings and invite anyone with experience, skills, and/or enthusiasm to join them. Interested individuals may contact any of the trustees to volunteer.
Trustees are also responsible for hiring outside contractors when licensed professionals are needed for more extensive maintenance and/or repairs. Seasonal activities may include organizing fall and/or spring grounds clean-up projects and an annual spring yard sale or other fund-raisers to generate supplemental funds for the operating budget.
