Council and leadership teams generally meet once per month (on Zoom or in-person), and the commitment is general a three year term. We actively encourage our lay members to be involved in the governance of the church. For some areas, specific expertise and/or related experience is needed. In other areas, a passion for the ministry is desired. If you are interested in joining any of the below groups, please complete an application at sotv.org/teams and email it to nominations@sotv.org.
