Call for Nominations: Board Member

Core Purpose & Role of a Board Member at Lighthouse Christian Athletics

As a board member of Lighthouse Christian Athletics, you serve as a steward, leader, and guide for the organization. Your role is not to run day-to-day operations (that’s handled by paid and volunteer staff), but to ensure that LCA stays true to its mission and flourishes sustainably — spiritually, ethically, organizationally, and financially.

Specifically, a Board Member helps:

• Set and uphold LCA’s mission, vision, and overall values;
• Provide oversight and governance, ensuring responsible stewardship of resources;
• Make strategic decisions about budgets, policies, and long-term direction;
• Ensure compliance with legal requirements, bylaws, and sound nonprofit governance principles; and
• Serve as a public representative, ambassador, and advocate of LCA — fostering community involvement, support, and networking.

Typical Duties and Responsibilities

Board Members at LCA often participate in the following duties:

• Attend Board meetings: Participate in regularly scheduled meetings (quarterly or more often) to discuss and vote on organizational matters.
• Financial oversight: Review financial statements, budgets, and expenditures. Ensure funds from registration fees, sponsorships, and donations are used responsibly for the operation of our programs as well as for administration, insurance, background checks, software, etc., as LCA outlines.
• Policy & strategic planning: Help define long-term strategic goals, policies for operations or membership, and growth plans (e.g., adding new sports, ensuring sustainability, supporting expansion).
• Support and oversight of leadership/staff: While our staff manage daily operations, the Board provides support, advice, and oversight. For example, approving major decisions, ensuring the Athletic Director and operations staff align with LCA’s mission.
• Fiduciary duty & ethical oversight: Protect the interests of LCA ahead of personal gain. Avoid conflicts of interest, ensure transparency, and act with integrity.
• Advocacy, community relations, and fundraising/ support: Help promote LCA within the community. Board members may help recruit volunteers, engage families, potentially help with fundraising, and advocate for resources or partnerships.
• Legal and compliance oversight: Make sure LCA abides by applicable laws, regulations, and internal bylaws; ensures organizational accountability and transparency.

Depending on the board’s internal structure, some board members may also have specific officer roles (e.g., Treasurer, Secretary, Member-at-Large) with tailored responsibilities — such as financial reporting, record-keeping, or oversight of certain committees.

What LCA Looks For in a Board Member

Ideal board members will:

• Have a strong commitment to Christian values and support LCA’s mission.
• Possess leadership, organizational, and communication skills.
• Bring relevant experience — e.g., in sports program management, athletic administration, finance/accounting (especially for roles like Treasurer), or volunteer coordination.
• Are willing to work collaboratively with staff, volunteers, coaches, and community partners.
• Are prepared to dedicate a modest but consistent time commitment (e.g., reviewing financials, attending meetings, serving on committees, possibly contributing leadership or oversight 8–10 hours/month or more depending on role).
• Are committed to transparency, accountability, and the long-term success and integrity of LCA.

What Being on the LCA Board Means — Impact & Expectations

Serving on LCA’s Board is a meaningful way to contribute to the Christian and athletic development of student-athletes and their families. As a Board Member, you are a steward of trust — helping ensure that funds (like association memberships) are used wisely to support not just sports, but the organization’s overall infrastructure (website, insurance, background checks, etc.)

You’ll also help shape the long-term direction and growth of LCA: which sports are offered, how programs are supported, how the organization stays financially sustainable while remaining accessible. Your decisions and guidance will affect coaches, volunteers, athletes, and their families.

The role requires commitment, integrity, and collaboration — but it offers opportunity to serve, influence positive outcomes, and help build a thriving Christ-centered athletic community.
