We believe that as a church community, we all share in the responsibility to “pastor each other” – to look out for each other, as we are able, in terms of our spiritual, social and practical needs. At the same time, we recognize the need for specific roles, paid and unpaid, to ensure certain responsibilities are understood and accountable to the whole community.
LEADERSHIP COLLECTIVE (LC)
The Leadership Collective (LC) is our way of meeting this need, and it’s the body that oversees the life of the church on a day to day basis. The LCÂ includes those with a strong sense of willingness, energy, leadership capacity, availability, call and commitment to invest themselves in the overall functioning of SCC. Our collective role is to ensure that the main services and programs of the church continue in a way that is rooted in the Christian story and our own shared history while also responsive to the needs of our community.
The LC is also the legal board of the community. We meet at least bi-weekly and always try to keep a listening ear open to the Community Support Network and the whole church community. Everyone is always welcome to reach out to anyone on the LC about questions or concerns. Here are the present members of the Leadership Collective:
COMMUNITY SUPPORT NETWORK
The Community Support Network (CSN) consists of volunteers (and some paid staff roles) who are a part of the broader leadership of the SCC community. They meet less often but support and encourage the Leadership Collective, providing a level of accountability as well as serving the community in a broader variety of ways. They are also formal members and are particularly engaged at the church’s AGM.
