In a Congregational Church, the congregation itself is ultimately in charge—it’s a democratic place. In between congregational meetings, the Church Council is in charge. The current Moderator (think: mayor of the Congregation) is Bob Gowdy. The Moderator gets elected by the Congregation annually.
While the Pastor has direct responsibility for the worship life of the church, he works closely with and is guided by the Worship Ministry Team. In fact, almost all of the “action” happens through our 30-plus Ministry Teams. They do the work of the church. A separate booklet provides information about each Ministry Team—and we’ll be happy to give you one.
We set aside 10% of our income for Mission outside the congregation. Our Mission and Outreach Ministry Team is one of the most active in the church. We support and are involved with many, many organizations including:
- Amaryllis Foundation
Andover-Newton Theological School
Mainspring HouseCarolina Hill
DOVE (Domestic Violence Ended)
