Leadership News

 

Unitarian Universalist congregations are each self-governed. Our leadership — from group coordinators to board officers — includes and relies on the members and volunteers in our congregation. Serving in a leadership role at Horizon is a spiritual practice that both supports the church and nourishes the individual. Training and support is provided at every level; we learn and lead together.

Renew Your Faith

We are a people of Faith. We at Horizon are a church, and a part of a religious denomination - Unitarian Universalists. Yes, as we often say we don’t have to believe in exactly the same answers to some of the big questions like those about God, afterlife, and eternity. But we do have faith, and it’s a Shared Faith at that.

Leadership Development and Nominating Committee (LD&NC)

News from the Leadership Development & Nominating Committee

(January 9, 2022) In the current bylaws approved by the congregation in May 2021, the Nominating Committee was renamed the Leadership Development & Nominating Committee (LD&NC). Our role was expanded to include providing leadership development opportunities to Horizon members with the intent of supporting existing church leaders and encouraging leadership growth within the congregation. One of the goals of the LD&NC is to encourage congregants to consider leadership as part of their spiritual practice, and to offer opportunities for current and future leaders to learn about healthy leadership practices in a church setting.

The LD&NC will soon be hosting an on-line introduction session about Horizon church leadership. This session will explain the leadership structure at Horizon, along with more information on the elected Board and committee positions and their terms — with a specific focus on the positions we will vote for in May. We will also have short vignettes from current office or committee members speaking about their personal call to service, what they do in their role, what they have learned, time commitment and other “nice-to-knows.”

The congregation will be hearing from our committee on a regular basis leading up to the Congregational Meeting in May 2022 when we will vote on the slate of candidates. We will also keep you posted on our new ventures in leadership development facilitation and where to learn about these opportunities.

Our team will host a spot on the Horizon website where we will post the introduction session about Horizon church leadership, other leadership development opportunities, and information about the upcoming election. Check the website frequently!
