The Executive Council has overall responsibility to the Church membership for the general health and well-being of the Church. It provides for communication and liaison among the major boards and ministries as well as other activities within the Church.
Working with the minister, the Deacons are responsible for all aspects of the spiritual life of the Church with emphasis on the total worship experience and outreach to the shut-in, invalid, or needy members and friends of our Church.
Trustees are mainly responsible for the business, financial management, human resource management and management, repair, and maintenance of church property. All contracting authority on behalf of the Church resides with the Board of Trustees.
This committee is established for the purpose of achieving and maintaining an open, effective and trusting relationship, and two-way communication between the Pastor and the congregation.
The Investment Committee serves as advisor to the Board of Trustees in the care and control of Church investments.
The By-Laws Committee reviews the By-Laws at least once a year for conflicts within the by-laws, clarity, uniformity of style and whether or not proposed changes do what they are/were intended to do.
