Administrative Council
"I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received." --Ephesians 4:1
The Administrative Council of the Yorkville United Methodist Church oversees the administration and organization of our ministry. Short-term and long-term planning comes through the Administrative Council for implementation. The life of our church is directly affected by this body's decisions. Do you think that our church may become your church home? Come visit us at one of our Administrative Council meetings! Our doors are always open to members and visitors alike! As a member, you may well be nominated for a position of leadership!
