Universal City United Methodist

Governance Board


We have gone to a Simplified Leadership Structure designed to streamline the business of the church. In this model the Board governs, the pastor leads, the staff (paid and unpaid) manage and the congregation does the “hands on” ministry. In the meetings Finance, Trustees and Staff Parish Relations conduct their business with everyone on the board as part of their business and ministry team. The board uses the Mission and Vision Statements for the ongoing alignment of new and existing programs and ministries of the church. Further, they are responsible for church goals and accountability.
