The Board of Directors is the visionary and governing body of Saltwater Church, asking and answering the question, “Why do we do what we do?”

Saltwater Church has six Board Members who typically serve three-year terms.  These individuals are nominated by the Nominating Committee and elected into their positions by vote of Saltwater members at our Annual Business Meetings.  Officer roles include Board President, Board Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.  The Treasurer may be a Board Member or another member of our church.  The Board also supports the committees of the Board, the Healthy Congregation Team, the Nominating Team, and the taskforces and volunteer service tams by the Board. If you have any questions about the work of the Board feel free to reach out to any of our Board members.

Healthy Congregation Team

Why have a Healthy Congregation Team at Saltwater Church?

At Saltwater Church, we recognize that occasional conflict is natural in any organization and that the difference between healthy and unhealthy organizations is not whether conflict is present, but how it is addressed. We want to address conflict in a healthy manner, and the Healthy Congregation Team helps us to this.

More specifically, the Healthy Congregation Team has three purposes:

To promote healthy communication practices within the congregation.

To consult with any member of the congregation regarding how to deal with any situation that has the potential for conflict.

To help resolve conflict between members of the congregation.
