About our ministers
We differ from the other churches in that there is no one, single spiritual leader at our Chapel. Different voices—our diverse ministers, board members, members, and guest speakers—are heard each Sunday, both as lecturers and those who preside over our services.
We provide an opportunity for people to share their light—not merely an opportunity for our congregation to sit and passively listen to what one person has to say.
Our Board of Ministers confers over spiritual aspects, and the Board of Directors has jurisdiction over business aspects. All decisions are made by consensus, and our Bylaws provide specific guidance.
