about us

Staff:

Pastor: Rev. Dr. Evelyn Lavelli

Our church is organized around a Council and these Ministries: Community/Mission/Justice, Spiritual Growth, and Worship. Each meets monthly to conduct the business of the church.

The Council consists of a Board (Chair, Vice-Chair, Past Chair, Clerk, and Financial Officer) and members-at-large. It provides overall guidance to further the ministry of our congregation, creates an overall plan for the church and its future, oversees financials, and adopts needed policies and procedures.

The Community/Missions/Justice Ministry is responsible for activities such as Monthly Birthday Dinner, UNICEF Collection, Camp Scholarship Fund, Love Fund, and offerings which support local community groups and wider world missions such as Heifer International and Habitat for Humanity.

The Spiritual Growth Ministry coordinates adult and children’s Sunday School, Bible and book studies, Lenten mid-week worship, our library, youth activities, and prayer circle.

The Worship Ministry is responsible for worship oversight, liturgical dancers, weekly bulletin, coverage for pulpit and music, ushers, communion, fellowship and flowers.

In addition, we have, as part of Community, a Women’s Fellowship and three Circles—1, 7, 8.

The Women’s Fellowship provides funeral receptions and lunches, as well as certain specific needs such as maintenance of the kitchen and supplies, and organizes seasonal events.

The three Circles do visitations, remembrances for the sick and shut-in, monthly devotions, and gatherings to strengthen our church family.

Birthday Potluck Dinners on the third Friday of the month, 6:00 p.m.
