JV Bylaws (pdf format)

ECA shares its building and some staff with the Almaden Valley United Church of Christ (AVUCC). We call this partnership Joint Venture (JV).  The JV Board meets on the first Tuesday of each month with both pastors and six representatives from each church.  It is the legal entity for corporate decisions regarding the building, expansion, office and logistical budgeting.  Under Joint Venture we share our Youth Director, Parish Administrator, Music Director, janitorial service and care of the building and grounds.   Each church contributes equally to the JV budget.
