Church Boards

Church boards

As a congregationally led church, The United Church of Los Alamos is organized into Boards, which have crucial roles in the ministries of the church.


Board members are elected for two-year terms. The various boards are described below.


Christian Education Board

Anthony Puckett, chair

The Christian Education Board provides Sunday School classes for children, youth, and adults, as well as multi-generational programs throughout the year. Some of the these programs include: All Church Camp, Advent Lecture Series and Suppers, Monday and Friday morning study groups, Vacation Bible School (VBS) and much more! 


Elders Board

Brad Cooke, chair

The Elders Board oversees the spiritual aspects of life at The United Church of Los Alamos. They are responsible for worship services, communion service, and sponsor a spiritual retreat each year.


Finance Board

Matt Michnovicz, chair

The Finance Board oversees the church budget and expenditures, and assists other Boards in their fiscal planning and commitments.  This budget encompasses the programs, staff, and facilities of The United Church of Los Alamos, and provides for mission giving.


Membership & Evangelism Board

Marie Michnovicz, chair

The Membership & Evangelism Board is focused on outreach and the welcoming of new visitors, as well as the care of our existing members and regular attenders. Activities and events include Sunday morning coffee fellowship, the Welcome Center, Monday Night at the Pit in the summer for college students, Thanksgiving potluck, Easter breakfast and much more. 


Missions & Service Board

John Puckett, chair

The Missions & Service Board administers the annual missions budget in the name of the congregation. We maintain contact with the supported agencies and individuals. The Board also coordinates special offerings and designated gifts outside of the budget including One Great Hour of Sharing, disaster relief, and Christmas Alternative Giving. We promote mission and service activities by church members to meet the spiritual and physical needs of God's children.

Church Committees

Committees include Endowment/Memorials, Fellowship, Flowers, Historical, LIFT (provides support for Memorial receptions), Nominating, Public Relations, A/V Team, and Ushering/Welcoming.

Our dedicated pastors and staff members are a key part of our leadership structure and work in conjunction with our Executive Council and various church boards.
