Starting in Fall 2025, West End Church has adopted a new Committee Structure for governance. This structure is newly adopted by our Board with the goals of increasing lay leadership participation, creating more opportunities for collaboration and fellowship, and growing West End Church.
Each of the Committees is self-governing, determines their own agenda and meeting schedules, and reports into the Church Board through their Chair. For more information about any one of the Committees, please speak to either the Chair or Staff member listed above.
