To identify, enlist and recruit potential ministers from our congregation and to help and encourage them to develop and prepare themselves for ministry are also part of this committee’s work.

This committee's area of ministry is to work closely with the pastor, music director and organist/pianist to plan worship services and work to ensure greater congregational involvement in worship, leadership and evaluation. Planning communion services, Christmas, Easter and other special worship activities are also part of their work.
