Leadership Groups
Oversight of the United States church is in the hands of various
groups.
The US National Conference is the highest governing
body. It meets every two years, the next meeting
being in 2009. Every active UB minister is eligible to be a member, and every UB church can send at least one layperson as a voting member.
The US National Conference is also part of the international General Conference, which meets every four years. Representatives from the nine constituent national conference take part in that meeting.
The Executive Leadership Team meets twice a year to handle business between sessions of the US National Conference. The bishop is the chairperson. He is joined by 12 other voting members--half laypersons, half clergy. Eight of those members are elected by the National Conference, and the ELT appoints the other four. Here are the members for 2007-2009.
And then there are leadership teams, which have
responsibility for a specific area of ministry. Use the links
below to see the members of these teams.
The Women's Ministry Team and the Youth Ministry team work under the direction of the Healthy Church Leadership Team. The members need to be approved by that team.
The Huntington University Board of Trustees provides direct oversight of Huntington University.
