Diocesan Council meets monthly to do the work of Synod in between Synods. The Administration and Finance Committee is a subcommittee of Diocesan Council which meets as needed.
Council helps to build and support the ministry of the Diocesan community of communities in a number of ways.
- Prayerful decision making that supports members, parishes, leaders, and the diocesan community as a whole in participating in God's mission
- Attending to matters of concern in the Diocese's regions, and communicating items of importance between regions and Council.
- Regional Representatives prepare written reports for each meeting of Council to summarize regional happenings, bring forward actionable items, and matters of concern
