The Lake Junaluska Public Works office manages the roads and utilities. Water for the community is purchased from the town of Waynesville, and [[sewage treatment]] is provided by Waynesville through a purchase agreement. Water and sewer fees and annual service fees provide funds for maintenance and improvements to the infrastructure. The community has engaged in a program to renew roads and systematically replace water and sewer lines without incurring debt. A prioritized list of improvements was initially developed,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lakejunaluska.com/i/downloads/CIP_Final.pdf|title=Homepage}}</ref> and replacement of the oldest underground water lines has saved money by reducing water loss due to leakage.

A Community Council of elected representatives provides guidance to the public works office and Conference and Retreat Center leadership on issues that impact the community, such as utility rates, annual service charges, residential rules, and regulations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://lakejunaluskacommunity.org/junaluska-assembly-community-council|title = Junaluska Assembly Community Council &#124; Lake Junaluska Assembly Public Works}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lakejunaluska.com/i/downloads/bylaws_PW2016.pdf|title = Homepage}}</ref> Open monthly meetings also provide a means for the property owners to learn about new developments in the community and provide input to the council and the conference and retreat center leadership.

The community of residents, year-round and seasonal alike, are a very diverse active group that enjoy many opportunities for involvement in recreation and fellowship. Community organizations include the Lake Junaluska Assembly Property Owners organization (LJAPOO),<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://lakejunaluskacommunity.org/lake-junaluska-assembly-property-owners-organization-inc|title=Lake Junaluska Assembly Property Owners Organization, Inc.}}</ref> which addresses issues associated with the ownership, and the Junaluskans, which is a service group that meets twice monthly and supports many activities.

The campus is also the home to the Foundation for Evangelism,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.foundationforevangelism.org|title=Foundation for Evangelism - To promote, encourage and provide resources for Wesleyan evangelism|access-date=2023-08-05}}</ref> a non-profit organization serving ministries of the United Methodist Church by promoting the growth of new generations of clergy and laity that have a passion for [[evangelism]].
