The Church Council is responsible for the strategic direction and the financial life of Augustana.
Augustana’s mission and value statements are the basis for directing how church ministries and programs are shaped and how resources are allocated. Nine members of Augustana, the pastoral team, and an elected treasurer make up the Church Council. Council representatives are elected by the congregation each January at the annual meeting. Terms are three years and members may serve no more than two consecutive terms.
If you wish to contact a member of the Church Council, please contact the church office at 651.457.3373 and they will have the council member contact you.
