Ministry of Adult Education
Members are responsible for providing opportunities and training for adults to enhance their ministry to the world. This committee promotes study, education, and training for mission, action and leadership through programs such as the Stephen Ministers, various Bible studies, the Lenten Series, Bell Tower Video, and special adult groups.
Ministry of Outreach & Mission
Members work with local agencies serving homeless persons, people living with HIV/ AIDS, at risk youth, and recovering substance abusers to develop hands-on outreach and service projects that provide opportunities for meaningful involvement by our congregation. Responsibilities also include the disbursement of budgeted funds to meet local humanitarian needs and the coordination of special denominational offerings benefiting homeland and global ministries of the United Church of Christ.
Ministry of Parish Life
Members are responsible for the fellowship, membership, and service functions of the church. They oversee publicity and public relations efforts (newsletter, directory, and seasonal brochures) and coordinate the activities of the various groups concerned with caring for the congregation. They also award scholarships for continuing education.
Ministry of Worship
Members work in consultation with the ministers to establish the general format of the services of divine worship and organize the roster of ushers, communion servers and lay leaders. A Music Committee functions under Worship to address the effective utilization of music in the worship life of the church.
