You said the basic work of the Boards of The United Church is to, “Devise, administer and evaluate the many and varied programs of the church.” Now that wasn’t so hard, was it? The answer is tricky, but correct. The Boards and the Committees are made up of hard-working individuals who make the church work. The oversight of the Congregation and Executive Board are in place as the final authority, but the essential work of the church happens in and through its boards and committees.
