Our Leadership
At Glen Ellyn Covenant Church, the primary governing body is the Leadership Team, a team of eleven members elected by the congregation who are responsible for the entire spectrum of church life and mission.
The Leadership Team delegates responsibility for all ministry directly to ministry teams or supporting committees and, together with the congregation, provides the resources and support to those ministry teams to accomplish the work of the church. The Leadership Team is responsible to the congregation for its actions and decisions. The structure is very flexible and allows for the creation of ministry teams whenever the Leadership Team senses the need in response to their discernment of the work of the Holy Spirit in and through our church.
