We differ from the other churches in that there is no one single leader at our Chapel. Different voices are heard each Sunday. We provide an opportunity for people to share their light- not merely an opportunity for our congregation to sit and passively and listen to what one person has to say. Our Board of Ministers confers over spiritual aspects and the Board of Directors has
jurisdiction over business aspects. All decisions are made by consensus, and our Bylaws provide specific guidance.
