The office employs Owen Burkholder, Conference Minister; Sarah Bixler, Interim Conference Youth Minister, Steven Carpenter, Conference Coordinator, and other staff. Virginia Mennonite Conference is overseen by Conference Council, a group that makes larger decisions about the work of the Conference, appoints overseers for the different districts, and credentials ministers.
