Ministry Teams of the Church

Becoming a member of one of the many church committees is another opportunity for service. The ministry of our church, as well as the day-to-day operations of the church facilities, is dependent upon the membership's involvement. A wide variety of interests is represented in the following standing committees:

  • Administrative Council
  • Trustees
  • Finance
  • Staff Parish Relations
  • Lay Leadership
  • Education
  • Witness and Development
  • Ministry Team Callers
  • Fun and Fellowship
  
  • Evangelism
  • Missions
  • Worship
  • Memorial/Endowment
  • Communications & Technology
  • Prayer-Caring
  • Building
  • Five for Faith
 

Other short term committees are formed during the year as the need arises for special projects. Sometimes it is not possible to be committed to a long term committee, but a short project may work with a very busy schedule.
