BOARD OF DIRECTORS

BOARD NOMINATIONS

First - a BIG "Thank You" to our current Board of Directors who ensure that everyone who walks through our doors has an amazing experience. From scheduling speakers and musicians to setting up our concerts and drum circles to making sure we have clear walkways and the lights are on ... there are lots of moving pieces. The Board members don't personally do all the work of keeping Wayfarers in motion, but they DO ensure that it is done!


Having a five-member Board ensures that we have broad perspectives as we make decisions about the daily operations and the future of Wayfarers Chapel and ensures that the responsibility of running the chapel does not fall to one or two individuals. Alternating two-year terms pave the way for one or two new faces every year and ensure we always have new ideas and energy while maintaining a base of experience on the Board.


Becoming a Board member is a way of serving the values and people of Wayfarers by donating a few hours each month. It is also a privilege that provides a unique connection to the chapel and all who pass this way. The next Board term begins January 1st, 2027, and the new Board is announced the first Sunday in November.


Please consider this opportunity to support Wayfarers Chapel. And if there is a "Yes" or "Maybe" in your heart, please contact one of our current Board members to let them know and explore any questions or concerns you may have.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."
