Among others, elders, trustees and deacons participate and manage the church's many programs and ministries. Each year, the congregation elects officers to serve and to help run the church. Officer nomination forms are normally available to download/print or submit online. Currently nominations are closed. Biographical information on the nominees for 2009 is now available.
