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.

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.

Here are the most recent Congregational Bylaws.

We reached a quorum and addressed the vote from the June 5 annual meeting, voting to rescind the wage increases approved at the June 5 meeting and grant a 5% cost-of-living increase for all compensated positions and to adjust the budget accordingly.

In order to help us understand the difference in budgets, treasurer Chris Wagner created these slides to show compensation levels in the approved and proposed amounts and their effect on the budget. Note a highlighted and footnoted area that has been added to show potential additional costs that come with a passed motion in June.

Here is the revised accepted budget for 2022-2023.
