The VIA Council is the governing body of Sylvan Acres Ministries. The Council is made up of representatives from the 15 member Churches of the Vancouver Island Association.

The Council meets on the first Tuesday (at 7:00pm) of each month, usually at Calvary Baptist Church in Chemainus although meetings are sometimes held at Camp during the summer months.

In addition to the monthly meetings there are two rallies held each year. One in the Spring and one in the Fall. The purpose of the rallies is to bring all of the Churches together to celebrate the life we share through common endeavours such as Sylvan Acres Ministries. The Rallies are held in different church buildings, alternating between northern Vancouver Island and southern Vancouver Island and sometimes the rallies are held at Camp.

The current Council Members are:
