Servant Leadership Board Application 2022

Committed servants of Christ and members of Hyde Park Community are invited to pray about serving on the Servant Leadership Board.  The board gathers once a month to champion the vision of the mission and ministry of the congregation to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.  Each member of the Servant Leadership Board will serve on one of three teams:   personnel, finance, or property. 

Applications are now available at the Welcome Center and will be received through September 1, 2021.  A committee of church members will receive all applications.  Three persons will be chosen and begin their three-year term of service on January 1, 2022.
