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. If you are interested in being considered or simply learning more, complete the recommendation form. If you know of someone who would make a great officer, you may use the same form to recommend someone else. Recommendations will be received through the end of February.
