Christian Community Governance

The Christian Community is a self-governing entity. We follow a governance model which has been agreed upon by Community members. We elect a Community Leadership Team whose members serve for staggered terms, and we hold a regular schedule of participatory Community meetings to which all Community members are invited.

Current Governance Model
Our current governance model was officially adopted by the Community in June 2002. Major changes from the previous model (pre-2002) include a more formal governance structure, a more robust and powerful leadership team, and a better-defined decision-making process.

Community Meetings
The CLT generally meets on a monthly schedule to conduct its internal business, and any Community member is welcome to attend a CLT meeting, with the occasional exception in which part or all of a CLT meeting may be a closed session to allow for discussion and resolution of sensitive issues.

General Community meetings are held on a quarterly schedule, with additional meetings if necessary. Quarterly meetings are typically held immediately following a Sunday liturgy, while monthly CLT meetings are typically held on a Monday evening. Please consult the Governance Model for additional information about Community meetings.
