First Lutheran Church is not a top-down organization. The Congregation Council is the elected leadership team of our community and works alongside the Pastor to sustain and grow our ministry, plan for mission, and to serve as examples of discipleship. It is also charged with the care of our institutional resources, such as our building and finances.

The Council meets on the second Monday of each month, and all business is conducted in a spirit of prayer, beginning with a devotion or Bible study and concluding with a celebration of Holy Communion. Any confirmed member of the congregation is eligible for election to the Council at the Annual Meeting in January.
