PDCC Boards & Committees
The governance of Peace Dale Congregational Church, as a congregation of the United Church of Christ, is vested in the members of the congregation. Governance of the church is managed through a slate of officers, a set of Boards, and a number of permanent (as opposed to ad hoc) Committees. Officers of the congregation and members of Boards and Committees are elected at the Annual meeting in February of each year. Elected officers are Moderator, Assistant Moderator, Clerk, and Treasurer. Church Boards and permanent Committees lead the church in its operation and missions.
Executive Board
The Executive Board is comprised of the four officers and the chairs of all Boards; the Senior Minister and the Chairs of the permanent Committees serve as ex officio members. The general control and arrangement of the affairs of the Church is vested in the Executive Board, which has full authority and power to perform all acts necessary to promote the interest and welfare of the Church.
