RVCC Coordinating Council

Coordinating Council

The Coordinating Council is the governing body of our church. Its role is to envision the overall work of the church and to develop and execute comprehensive programs to makes those dreams a reality. The Council provides leadership and inspiration to the congregation in all avenues of church life. The notes of the most recent meeting of the Coordinating Council can be seen in the most recent issue of our newsletter, The Weathervane
