Our church is prayerfully guided by five boards: Board of Trustees, Board of Deacons (or Diaconate), Board of Christian Education, Board of Music Ministries, and the Board of Missions.
Per Palm Schwenkfelder Church’s By-Laws:
- Our Board of Trustees “have charge and control of all business and financial matters, and of all property belonging to the Church…”
- Our Board of Deacons (Diaconate) is charged to watch over the “life and doctrines of the Congregation….”
- Our Board of Christian Education directs “the Christian Education throughout the Church, Church School, Youth and other educational activities affiliated with the Church.”
- The Board of Music Ministries “directs the ministry of music throughout the Church and its activities.”
- The Board of Missions educates and encourages the congregation towards missions and mission projects. Click here to learn more about current and ongoing mission projects and activities.
There are also standing and ad hoc committees that help support the functions of our church including:
- The Pastoral Relations Committee which meets regularly to support and encourage our Pastor as well as to listen to the needs of the congregation and to be a liaison for discussion between the two.
