Our Governance
St. John’s has a Board of Trustees composed of seven members: President, Vice-President, Immediate Past President, Finance Director, Program Director, Member at-Large, and Secretary of the Board. Generally, a person serves as VP, then President, then Immediate Past President for a three-year commitment.
On behalf of the congregation, the Board is responsible for policy development and compliance, and the administrative management of the real and personal property of the church, its business affairs, and all contracts. The Board shall keep the congregation informed of its decisions and activities.
Current Bylaws and Policies are here:

Bylaws Review and Special Congregational Meeting Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025
Online and in-person after service (absentee vote also available)
While we prepare to select a new minister, it is important for the congregation to review our Bylaws and update where needed. Prospective ministers look at Bylaws as a part of their research, and will notice the ways a congregation’s bylaws align with or depart from UUA guidelines. At this time, the Board is interested in updating several areas of the current Bylaws, including how we select a minister, and clarifying the role of the minister in our congregation. We also would like to update the Bylaws with gender-inclusive language.
