Our Organization

Administrative Council

Lay Leader serves in partnership with Pastor Sunil and staff members as the primary advocate for and representative to the laity in our congregation.

Committee on Lay Leadership prayerfully identifies the gifts and talents of our congregation, recruits and nurtures leaders and Ministry members for our various Ministries to fulfill God's purposes for SUMC while focusing on our mission and vision.

Staff-Parish Relations (SPR) serves in a human resources capacity and provides support and guidance to the SUMC staff to complement and realize the goals set forth for our church and SUMC's mission to our local community and beyond.

Board of Trustees manages our church properties, equipment and investments to support our vision and mission for SUMC.

Finance identifies and manages the financial system of SUMC by raising, managing and dispersing our finances so that the mission and vision of our congregation can be achieved.

Discipleship and Stewardship Ministry is responsible for SUMC's annual Stewardship campaign for our church budget. In addition, it identifies programs for our congregation that include workshops, seminars and small groups so they can become more connected to our church family and help them to identify and to learn how to use their special gifts and talents in service to God and our community

Building Steering manages the development of the design and use plan for our new sanctuary that we hope to begin construction for in the near future. They will explore the building design, interior layout, square footage, etc., etc., etc. They have also developed our new Capital Building Campaign to raise funds for our current mortgage and the new sanctuary.

Children's Learning Center Ministry partners with parents to provide a Christian-based learning experience that celebrates the uniqueness of each child who attends SUMC's preschool, pre-kindergarten, early 3's and extended care programs.

Members-at-Large represent the general interests of the church body and help guide the Administrative Council deliberations on SUMC's role of mission and ministry in our community.
