Board Minutes Now Posted
A policy change adopted by General Council directs all congregations to post minutes of Unified Board meetings on their websites.

The minutes can be found by moving your cursor to the ABOUT button and then scrolling down and clicking on BOARD MINUTES or Click Here.Questions or Comments about our Web page?
