Administrative Council

Administrative Council is the governing body of the church and is made up of the chairpersons from the other committees. This church council continues the work of the charge conference.  All committees have representation here, as do church officers such as the financial secretary and lay members to the annual conference. It is the ultimate decision-making body in a United Methodist church on any issue other than worship and the placement of staff under appointment.
