Church Council

The church council is a group of dedicated members who have been elected to be the chief governing body of the congregation. They have responsibility for the financial life and strategic direction of the church.

Our vision is the basis for directing how church ministries are shaped and expressed, and for how the congregation’s resources are allocated. Each council member also serves on a separate leadership team. If you are interested in joining council or a leadership team, please complete an application and email it to nominations@sotv.org.

If you would like to submit an item to be considered for discussion at a Council meeting or if you’d like to talk to a Council member, email council@sotv.org. Thank you!
