2023 Annual Business Meeting
Sunday, November 19

Moving Forward Together

We will hold our Annual Business Meeting (see our church constitution, article 6 section 2a) during our Sunday worship services on November 19, 2023. This year, the items we will vote on at the Annual Business Meeting will include the 2024 proposed church budget, church officers (treasurer, financial secretary, and church clerk), and elder & deacon candidates. We had a Q&A forum on Sunday, November 5 at 4:00p in the Auditorium to discuss all of these matters together as a church family. This session was recorded for those unable to attend and is linked below, as is a brochure with brief biographies and photos. Longer biographies can be accessed in the expandable menus below.
