Church Council
The Church Council is the governing body of Lord of Love. Council Members serve for 2 years with one-half of the members elected by the congregation at a semi-annual meeting each November. Church Council members are officially installed during a church service in early January of each year. The Church Council holds meetings each month, usually the 3rd Tuesday of the month. The council convenes evey month either for official business meetings as a Church Council or for visioning as the Strategic Planning committee.
