Coordinating Team
  • Private Group
  • The C Team coordinates operations in concert with the Board of Trustees' vision and policies. Our aim is to support Live Oak ministries and teams and to hold a Council of Chairs meeting 2-3 times per year, open to all. We also work closely with staff and volunteers who oversee campus facilities and event rentals. The C Team's main purpose is to facilitate clearer communication between ministries so that we can streamline and improve Live Oak's operational practices. We meet on the second Thursday of the month at 1:00 p.m. Contact us for issues related to campus facilities, your ministry work, items you'd like to donate to improve our operations: coordinatingteam@liveoakgoleta.org.    
Nominating Committee
  • Private Group
  • The Nominating Committee works in the spring to reach out to potential new Board members when other members must rotate off the Board at the end of their terms, creating a slate for congregants to vote on at our Annual Meeting at the end of June.
