Church life Council:
Fellowship:
The Fellowship Council (and occasionally with other Councils) plans and coordinates church-wide special events and the meals for Wednesday night dinners and other events that encourage fellowship between members and those of our community.
Youth Ministries:
The Youth Ministries Council has responsibility for the spiritual growth and increased understanding of our middle school and high school youth of the nature of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit and how they interact with the individual in each of their lives. A deeper understanding of salvation, grace, justification by faith and positively increasing each person’s relationship with Christ are emphasized.
Membership and Congregational Care:
This somewhat introspective Council looks to assist with the spiritual and some physical needs of our members and with the welcoming of guests to God’s house. In addition, the Council is responsible for ensuring the membership role data are kept current, for the annual membership statistical report for Presbytery and for communicating to the public how we show Christ’s love for all people
Children Milistries:
The Children’s Ministries Council coordinates the ministry for our children up to middle school age. The council is responsible introducing the children to the basic concepts of Jesus as the son of God and how He would have us live ourselves and in relationship with our neighbors. Teaching programs, Vacation Bible School and other events are some of the means used to achieve these ends.
Mission Outreach:
The Mission and Outreach Council focuses on the second part of the two commandments from Christ, “…love your neighbor as yourself….” This Council looks for opportunities for our congregation to participate in sharing the “Good News” within our community, nation and the world. We show the love of Christ through service and sharing of resources with our neighbors.e for all people
