Participation in the ministries of the boards and committees is a wonderful way to build new relationships in the church. Board members are elected for a 3-year term and can serve 2 consecutive terms.  Committee members are appointed for 1 year and can serve consecutive terms per church by-laws. The following represent board opportunities:

• Church Council:  This is the executive body of this church. They manage the business, property and programs of the church through the elective boards, committees and officers.
• Christian Education Board:  Our children and adults benefit from the leadership of the Christian Education Coordinator, and the Christian Education Board. Church school for all ages begins at 9:15 a.m. most Sundays from September to May.  Confirmation classes are available for youth to learn more about their faith and our church before being confirmed into membership.  Bible Study:  There are 2 opportunities to participate, Monday or Thursday evenings.

• Diaconate Board:  Works with the pastor to minister to the spiritual needs of the church and it’s members.  Deacons assist with Baptisms and Communion, including Home Communion for those unable to attend worship because of health issues.  They are responsible for reception of new members into the church.

• Care Team:  This team was formed in response to the needs of those unable to attend worship, but desiring regular contact with a church member.
