Are you curious about what happens at Council?

Any CUCC member is welcome to attend Council meetings (unless Council is meeting in executive session for sensitive or confidential work). Some meetings are on Zoom, some are hybrid or on-campus only. To access the meeting Zoom link for hybrid and online-only meetings contact the Clerk at before noon on the meeting day.

A typical Council agenda includes opening prayer, approval of minutes, reports from 2 ministries, an opportunity to get to know something new about 2 Council members, discussion of ongoing Council work, discussion of items requested in advance by Council members, and other itemsHow can I read about what Council has been doing?

Approved minutes are available in your Breeze profile. Look in your Useful documents folder “Minutes of past Council meetings” for the 2023 and 2024 minutes. Or you can contact CUCC’s Clerk to request minutes from a specific meeting. Minutes are generally approved at the subsequent Council meeting and are not released until approved.

What does CUCC’s Council do?

At Community UCC, the Congregation meets at least three times a year to set our direction and to take action when we want to speak with one voice (for instance, supporting a justice resolution or creating a new staff position). Between congregational meetings, we entrust our decision-making to our Council. (Read more about CUCC’s governance here https://communityucc.org/governance/)
