The Congregational Leadership Team

The five Sisters elected to the Congregational Leadership Team serve with equally shared leadership and authority in order to assure collegiality, a diversity of gifts, and a variety of viewpoints in planning and decision making. Congregational government unites the members in keeping the life and ministry of the congregation contemporary as well as faithful to the spirit of the gospel and of our founder.
