Council and Committees

Church Council - The church council meets regularly on the third Monday of the month at 7:30pm. Upon the election of the church council, at the annual meeting, church council members are assigned particular responsibilities. The new church council elects the executive committee.

 

Executive Committee - This committee consists of a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and the pastor. The executive committee exists to facilitate the work of the church council. It meets sometime before the regularly scheduled church council meeting (usually the second Monday of the month). The executive committee sets the agenda for the church council meeting, reviews the previous month's financial reports, discusses issues of the past or coming church council meeting and annually reviews the pastor's ministry.

 

Christian Education Committee - The Christian Education Committee has the responsibility for carrying out the teaching ministry of the church. Under its direction is our entire Sunday School program for both youth and adults. The GIFT confirmation program, Vacation Bible School, adult Bible study and retreat opportunities for adults.

 

Evangelism Committee - The evangelism committee seeks to reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ by bringing people closer to our ministry at First Lutheran. This is done by inviting residents of the area to become members at First Lutheran and encouraging our present members to be active in our ministry.

Support Committee - The support committee oversees and regulates the financial resources of the church for ministry. Their primary responsibility is formation of the annual church budget, but they also handle all of the memorial giving and expenditures as well as other tasks related to staff and congregational resources.

They are responsible for our regular and special worship services and our church choirs. This committee is also charged with the task of providing weekly greeters, ushers and lectors. The Altar care and Organ Committees are under their auspices as well.
