The group includes six lay members and the pastor of Faith, Rev. Bob Loffer. They meet monthly and send monthly bulletins to the congregation. Early in 2013 at the annual meeting, the congregation approved a measure calling for continued study about economic justice and ongoing discernment about becoming an economic justice congregation.
