All of our ministries are gathered together by the Church Council—the core leadership of the congregation. These fourteen men and women are elected annually by the congregation to act as liaisons to the different program groups, committees, and ministries, making sure there is good communication and common goals. They are the decision-makers, chosen by the congregation, and they support the spiritual interests of our church and its members.
