Leadership

A church and a people for Boulder with love.

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. Nominations for these positions are taking place right now. Nominate yourself, or someone you know today!
