Staff + Leadership
A church and a people for Boulder with love.
Congregational leadership is an important area of service in the church.
Grace Commons leadership is comprised of covenant partners like you—men and women who have a heart for Jesus and a desire to see this place flourish in making disciples and sharing Jesus to Boulder and beyond. Each year, a class of elders, deacons and trustees are elected for three year terms to our leadership boards. Nominations for these positions take place in February.
