Leander UMC employs a one-board structure. The Board functions as the church's Administrative Board as called for in the Discipline of the United Methodist Church. The board acts together as our Staff-Parish Relations, Finance, and Trustees Committees. Board meetings are typically held on the second Wednesday of each month at 6 PM and, except for SPRC matters, are open to our membership.
