The Nehemiah Group
The Nehemiah Group is the elected body of church members who meet 6 to 8 times a year to support the staff team with the major practical and financial decisions that will enable the church’s vision and mission to be fulfilled.
How is the Nehemiah Group Elected?
11 members of the church are elected at the annual general meeting having been proposed and seconded by CORE church members. The Minister in Charge is automatically on the team and he appoints one other person to join the team.
