About the New Church

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors administers the business, financial, and legal affairs of the General Church. These functions are administered by lay people and the Executive Bishop is ex officio the chair of the Board.

The Board of Directors are elected from the membership of the General Church. They serve for a term of three years and can be re-elected to a second term, as indicated by the numbers after their names. To preserve continuity on the Board, a member can be elected to a third term if their skills are deemed critical to the functioning of the Board.
