The first official meeting of the Executive Oversee of the Church of the Second Advent was held on December 3, 2024 to expand and replace the existing Board of Directors of the Church. The meeting was held in the Bishop’s Chambers at the Chancellery in Reno. The Right Reverend Gene Savoy, Jr, Head Overseer-Bishop, presided. In attendance were The Reverends Robert Petrovich, Elizabeth Reece, Rebecca Willis and Radheka Patel Savoy.
The Executive Oversee is authorized to exist under Title Three of the Constitution and Canon of the Church (Chapter Four, Canon 76A). The Oversee was authorized to exist by Apostolic Decree issued on November 30, 2024. All in attendance agreed that the initial members of the Executive Oversee will be the existing members of the Church Board of Directors together with the members of the Finance Council.
The Bishop proposed that the Executive Oversee become the Board of Directors of the Church Corporation (International Community of Christ). All agreed. The Bishop explained that this new structure will simplify working with banks and other financial institutions, lawyers, government officials, etc. The Reverends Petrovich, Reece, and Willis are already on ICC’s Board of Directors. Reverend Patel was appointed to the Oversee as a new member, as she is an existing member of the Finance Council.
