Constitution and Guding Documents
The Church Council is comprised of eight elected leaders and the pastor. The council meets monthly to guide the ministry and mission, oversee the financial and staff life of the congregation, and to listen for God’s call for the health and wholeness of the ministry.
The leadership of Our Saviour's Lutheran Church is made up of members who see that this congregation has something special to offer our community. We are seeking visionary leaders who want to bring our mission to life in Merrill, Lincoln County, and beyond.
Council elections happen at the annual meeting of the congregation.
