  Ministry Teams

  Ministry Teams execute the program of the Parish and provide opportunities for service, both as team members and in many areas of our life together as a parish family and as Christ's hands in the world. The Ministry Teams have established these goals:

  • Worship and Music: Worship God and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ by creating a worship setting within the Anglican tradition of Word and Sacrament, that is guided by prayer challenging our intellect, uplifts our spirit, and prepares us for service.

  • Spiritual Growth and Education

  • Parish Life and Evangelism: Provide interaction to keep our present members active and involved and to create an atmosphere appealing to new and prospective members.

  • Stewardship and Budget: Promote stewardship of the financial resources of the Church to maintain our parish programs and to grant future programs that the church would desire.

  • Buildings and Grounds: Preserve and enhance the physical facilities that we have inherited to witness the glory and holiness of God to our community.

  • Personnel

  • World and Community Outreach: Reach outside of the walls of our Parish and spread the love of Christ.

  • Planned Giving: Help Parishioners reflect upon and have access to our possibilities of planned giving by providing planned giving education, by encouraging Parishioners to prepare spiritually and financially for their death, and by being trusted stewards of the assets given in God’s name.
