Lay Ministry

Lay Ministry is the work of mission or ministry to which each believer is called. As Christians we are all called to this ministry or priesthood – not just clergy. Each of us has a responsibility to proclaim the Good News and reach out to others in love.
To fultill our mission to be the loving light of Christ so that lives and communities are transformed by God’s Grace, certain members of the congregation are called upon to serve in leadership roles on administrative and ministry committees.
Below is a listing of the leaders of our administrative committees. For information regarding our ministry group leadership and how to get involved, please contact a member of our church staff for more information.
