Adat Eytz Chayim is a registered  non~profit corporation 501(c)3 with the State of Michigan. We have a Board of Elders, Deacons, and Directors. Additionally we are governed by a set of Congregationally approved By laws.

The Board of Elders meets on a weekly basis for the purpose of conducting congregational business, set policy, review present ministries, seek out other potential ministries and appoint officers and leaders as needed. They have the Scriptural and legal authority to set congregational policy and rule on doctrinal issues.

New Elders can be nominated and added to the board by the current Board of Directors as Scripture dictates. Acts 14:23; I Tim. 3:1-6; and Titus 1:5-9

The Board of Elders can and does frequently delegate authority to committees and individuals in order to accomplish our objectives as stated previously. These committees and individuals operate as an extension of the board and therefore, are required to coordinate their activities with the board on a regular basis.

Our current Leadership consists of men who hold the following positions:

Zekanim (Elders)

Michael Manning - Congregational Leader

David Martonosi

John Reynolds

Shammashim (Deacons)

Mike Vandermeulen

Miguel Guillen

Edward Ellesson
