Church Council

The Church Council is a body of lay delegates chosen from the congregation and is the governing board of St. Mark Lutheran Church. It is Council’s task to see that the congregation functions properly and that the church fulfills its mission of proclaiming the good news of God’s love through Jesus Christ. Council reviews the financial status of the church, receives reports from the Pastor and Ministry Teams, and acts on necessary items of business.

The seven council members serve for three-year terms. Members are elected at the general meeting in June of each year. The terms of membership are staggered so that the continuity of the council is preserved. Council meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 7pm in the church lounge. Anyone may attend this meeting.

Council Assistants are volunteer positions rather than elective positions and help the council carry out its functions. Council Assistants are non-voting members of the council. Contact a member of Council to indicate your interest in either Council Member or Council Assistant positions.
