RESPONSIBILITIES OF COUNCIL
The Church Council of First United fulfills its duties and obligations in accordance with the current United Church Manual. The Council meets monthly, except for July and August. The Council establishes Standing Committees as required and ensures that each Committee is accountable and functioning within its mandate. The Council engages in short and long term strategic planning and makes policy decisions beyond or between Committee mandates. The Council ensures that an Annual Report is prepared and presented along with an annual budget to the Congregational Meeting which is usually held each February. Other details of the Church Council responsibilities and makeup can be found in the Constitution of First United Church.
