Governance Documents
Beginning in 2000, the leadership of West Shore began to look at the Carver Model of Policy Governance as a possible model for the Board of Trustees to follow. After six years of study, the Board of Trustees undertook the task of writing and approving a Governance Manual. This manual describes the role of the Board, the Executive Officer, the Parish Minister (s) as well as policy and board responsibilities.
Our By-laws are the primary governance document of the church. In November 2002, the members of West Shore voted to amend our by-laws.
