Each year the elected council members vote to select officers; in addition, council members determine which members will serve as liaisons to the various ministries. A nominating committee identifies candidates to replace members coming off the council; the length of council service terms is specified at the time the member is selected as a candidate for election by the congregation. Most terms are for 3 years. Pr. Tom Kenny [Pastor] serves as ex officio members.
