The work of the church takes many hands.

There are so many ways to be involved, both within and beyond our beloved church. Below are all the different Teams, Committees and Activities we have. Teams are groups that report to the Minister quite possibly via a staff member (Director of Faith Formation, Church Administrator or Music Director). Committees report to the Board of Trustees and are chosen by vote of the Congregation. Most of the Teams are open for you to get involved. A few are by invitation only (Music Team, Pastoral Care and Worship Associates).
