Standing Committees at
Unitarian Universalist Church of Fort Lauderdale (UUCFL)

A church standing committee is long-lasting, has a church member as its chairperson, and meets with some regularity. It deals with some aspect of church leadership or physical, spiritual, personal, philanthropic, and financial health of the church. The minister and at least one member of the Board of Trustees act as liaisons between the committees and the Board.
