The Administrative Council of Brucetown United Methodist Church, chaired by Fred Hildebrand, endeavors to administer a program of nurture, outreach, witness, and resources in the church.  This council also administers the organization and temporal life of the church through several committees including Memorials, Nominations, Pastor-Parish Relations (PPR), Board of Trustees, and Finance committees.  The council serves to envision, plan, implement and annually evaluate the mission and ministry of the church.  The Church Council shall function as the executive agency of the Charge Conference.

The Finance Committee, chaired by Tommy Edens, tracks and maintains the finances and assets of the church.  Along with the church treasurer, the finance committee works closely with Pastor C. Marc Roberson and the other committees in order to provide program funding along with developing and maintaining a balanced church budget.

The PPR (Parish-Pastor Relations) Committee, chaired by Carrie White (Welltown for 2007), is responsible for conferring  with and counseling the pastor and staff on the matters pertaining to the effectiveness of ministry; relationships with the congregation; conditions that may impede the effectiveness of ministry; and to interpret the nature and function of the ministry.  Also, this committee confers with, consults, and counsels the pastor and staff on matters pertaining to priorities in the use of gifts, skills, and time and priorities for the demands and effectiveness of the mission and ministry of the congregation.  Another important task of this committee is to provide evaluation at least annually for the use of the pastor and staff in an ongoing effective ministry and for identifying continuing educational needs and plans.  (Information taken from the Book of Discipline ¶ 258.2 - Parish-Pastors Relations Committee.  Information Source = umc.org)

The Trustees Committee, chaired by Osborne Mills Jr., is responsible for the supervision, oversight, and care of all property owned by Brucetown and equipment acquired by the church.  This committee reviews the adequacy of insurance on the church and church-owned property, buildings, and equipment and grants permission to outside organizations to use Brucetown church facilities.  This committee is also responsible for the accessibility of the church and related facilities so there are no barriers that will impede the full participation of people with disabilities.  (Information taken from the Book of Discipline ¶ 2524 - ¶ 2532 - Board of Trustees.  Information Source = umc.org)
