RESIDENT INVOLVEMENT
Your voice matters here.
Christwood encourages residents to work together to help shape and improve our community. Residents serve on the Christwood Board of Directors, the Resident Council, and on the Pastoral Care, Hospitality, Recycling, and Communications Committees, providing opportunities to work with the administrative team to help make Christwood the best it can be. From helping new residents become acclimated to planning events and organizing interest groups, resident committees foster collaboration, promote transparency, and strengthen community.
Frequently Asked Questions
