The Board of Managers is responsible to oversee, manage and assist the church in its financial and property matters. The members are elected at the congregation’s Annual General Meeting and serve for three years. The Board nominates one of its members as its Chairperson and another as its Treasurer.

The Board of Managers must work closely with the Session and the Board of Trustees to ensure that all aspects of the financial affairs of the congregation are managed in a proper fashion.
Board responsibilities include:
- setting and administering the church budget
- managing investments and funds
- overseeing memorial gifts
- managing the use of the church building
- supervising the maintenance of all church property.
Those responsibilities are governed by policies that have been developed in a number of areas and including:
- financial accounting and bookkeeping
- the use of church property by both members of the congregation and those of the wider community
- job descriptions for the treasurer and bookkeeper,
- reporting on the financial health of the church at the Annual General Meeting,
- the provision of income tax receipts
- and, together with the Board of Trustees, the disposal of unwanted church property.
At present, the Board of Managers at St. John’s Presbyterian Church is made up of ten members. This number may fluctuate as the work involved may require more or fewer members. One third of the membership retires each year — retiring members may be elected again.
