| The Church Council consists of
the confirmed members age 18 years and up of the congregation.
The council is convened annually during the month of November,
the date and place of which is determined by the Joint Board.
Special meetings may be called whenever the elders or the
trustees may deem it necessary or when a request is made by
ten (10) members, which request shall be in writing and state
the business to be submitted. Every meeting shall be announced
on the two previous Sundays at the services of the
congregation. At its annual meeting, the pastor calls the
church council to order, conducts devotions and presides at
the election of a president, vice-president and secretary of
the council. Nominations for these offices shall be placed
before the council by the nominating committee. The elected
officers serve one-year terms, and preside at all called
councils from one annual council to the next. The council also
elects all officers of the congregation and its delegates to
Synods, considers all matters of general interest, and
determines the rules and principles for the management of the
spiritual and temporal affairs of the congregation.
The current Church Council Officers are:
- Horace McCormack - President
- Reynold Hawkins - Vice President
- Jacqueline Jackson - Secretary
