Governance Committees
Our committees are comprised of a wide diversity of Christian leaders who provide wisdom, guidance and policy. The annual nominations process begins annually in the fall. Nominees must be members of the church for three years or longer, with exceptions made for members of newer campuses. We hope you will consider serving on one of the committees listed below as an elected leader. If you have any questions about this process, please contact Laura Gregory, our church’s Lay Leader, at nominations@cor.org or 913-345-8331.
