All not-for-profit corporations are required to have a board of directors to oversee its financial affairs. Our bylaws require that members of the Board be faithful, baptized disciples who serve as deacons or elders (or are biblically qualified to serve in this way). They must have the desire and God-given gifts necessary to serve, and each must characterize a personal commitment to the values of our church.  These directors have responded to the teachings of the Bible, have been baptized into Christ, participate in the body of Christ (church), are connected with other members in significant relationships, support the church as they are financially able and are recognized as members by the elders and evangelists of the Chicago Church of Christ.

The elders and evangelists of the church are extremely grateful for the service the board provides.

The following men have served on our Board of Directors since January 2007.
