Our Church Governance

The congregation of Cathedral of Hope is a community of people from many religious and spiritual backgrounds and experiences. We are a diverse community that emphasizes inclusion and welcome.
In keeping with the heritage and policy of our denomination, the United Church of Christ, Cathedral of Hope is a congregational church, governed by the will of the congregation through elected governing boards that establish and supervise our policies and programs.

Board of Stewards Standing Committees
A formal committee structure is laid out in the CoH Bylaws; a structure which is designed to foster communication and diversity in participation. There are currently seven standing committees: Bylaws, Building and Grounds, Development, Finance, Membership, Personnel and Strategic Planning.
Standing Committee members are appointed by and accountable to the Board of Stewards. All voting members of a Standing Committee shall be active members of the Church who demonstrate a willingness to serve in an advisory role to the Board of Stewards and work cooperatively with the Board and the Standing Committee in support of decisions made.
Please read the
Standing Committee Descriptions and Policy revised November 26, 2018 if you have an interest in serving on a committee, and if you qualify, print out and complete the
