Howe Methodist Church is an independent congregation which follows Wesleyan tradition and theology. We are governed by a board comprised entirely of church members who are nominated from the congregation for 3-year terms in their respective offices. Each member of HMC holds a vote in all church matters when brought to Church Conference.

The Church Board is made up of 9 total members in addition to the Sr. Pastor. Each and every role is designed to insure the hopes and wishes of the congregation are always held in consideration for all decisions. The Board thoughtfully and prayerfully seeks to follow God’s will for the future direction of HMC.
