The Parish Board
The life of our Parish continues throughout the week — through worship, pastoral care, community activities, administration, and the many practical responsibilities involved in serving our church community.
Much of this work is supported by the dedicated service of our Parish Board and its subcommittees, whose members generously give their time and talents to the life of the Parish.
And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labour among you, ….
and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake.
I Thessalonians 5:12-13
The Role of the Parish Board
The Parish Board serves as the Parish and Church Community's primary administrative body. Members of the Board are elected by stewards (members) at the Annual General Meeting and work collaboratively with the Parish clergy to support the mission and life of the Parish. Service on the Board is voluntary and honorary, with members generously giving their time and talents to the Church and our community.
In the Orthodox Church, clergy and laity together are the “People of God”, united in their mission to live and proclaim the Holy Gospel and uphold the Holy Tradition of the Church. The Parish Board reflects this shared responsibility by bringing clergy and laity together in service to the Parish's spiritual and practical life.
Upon assuming office, Parish Board members commit to three foundational obligations:
1
Understand, practise, and uphold the teachings and traditions of the Holy Orthodox Church
2
Adhere to the Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Statute of the Metropolitanate of Australia and New Zealand, and all relevant Parish Rules and Local Regulations.
Fulfil their oath of office through the responsible use of their time, talents, and resources, supporting the spiritual growth and advancement of the Parish.
