We the community of Sackville United Church, are called to proclaim and live the Way of

Jesus in our midst.

 

We are committed to being a safe, community where everyone is welcome.  We are committed to sharing with all persons, especially with those oppressed, excluded and marginalized by societal expectations.

​

We will join with all people who seek justice, compassion, love and peace for the earth and all people.

Governance

Sackville United Church follows a ‘council’ format of governance as outlined in The Manual.  

 

The Executive Council (The Executive), is the primary body of decision making.  The Executive is made up of Elders who are elected by the congregation and normally serve a three year term. The Executive establishes policy and procedures that serve to animate the ministry of the congregation.  Minutes of the Executive and Congregational meetings as well as various reports can be found here. The password is available from the Church office. Please email or call using the contact information below.

​

The Executive Council meets twice per month each month (except July and August).  The first meeting of the month is a 'Grounding Meeting' where in various ways the group seeks to root itself in the community and the faith they share. Leadership of these sessions is shared and all grow in wisdom and depth of relationship with one another.

 

Business meeting are scheduled to follow Grounding meetings, two weeks later, so that the Executive comes to the work of the Church from a deeply spiritual place.
