Congregation Council

We are loved by God, strengthened by community and sent to heal.

The council at First English Lutheran Church is the governing body that supports and guides the mission and ministry of the church. The Council members are elected by the church congregation at our annual meeting. We meet once a month and council members usually serve for a term of three years. If you have any questions about how we make decisions or what projects we are currently working on, please feel free to contact a Council member.
