Nominations
Governance leaders at St. Luke’s are entrusted with the strategic planning, decision-making, and policy implementation that enable the congregation to carry out the ministries of the church.
We take seriously the process of populating these governance bodies each year, and we value input from many voices. Our 2024 Lay Leadership Committee will review all applications and recommend a 2025 slate that balances backgrounds, gifts, and experiences. The slate will be voted upon at our February 2025 Church Conference. Contact Jennifer Gould with any questions.
