As a United Church, we are led, or governed, by volunteers who are elected to serve on our Congregational Board.

The Board is responsible for the strategic planning and oversight of our programmes, ministries and budget. It is where, together, we engage in holy conversation about how we live the Dream of God.

If you feel called to serve the community of Cedar Park United as a member of the Board, please reach out to Rev. Elisabeth or our Board Chair, Elsa Dondenaz.
