Our Committees
Use your gifts;
serve with purpose.
Committee Work
We believe that serving others is an essential part of our faith journey.
Our committees are designed to provide opportunities for members to use their gifts and talents to serve the church and community. To accomplish all this, we are organized into committees; members are encouraged to serve where their talents and interest lie.

As a United Church of Christ congregation, we govern ourselves through congregational meetings, elected officers and the Church Council as specified by our bylaws.
The election of officers, adoption of a budget and acceptance of reports of officers and committees is carried out at an annual meeting, typically held in January. In between annual meetings, the Church Council (consisting of elected church officers and representatives of the committees) conduct church business. Other congregational meetings may be called as necessary to conduct major business.
