Our Ministries
Worship
Worship is one of most important ministries. The worship ministry committee is responsible for working with the pastor to order worship in such a way that God is glorified. Along with the Session, our organist, Carol Hoyt, our choir director, Elizabeth Stoneberger, and Charlene Piper serve to help plan our services.

Community
The Community ministry builds connections between our church and the world around us as well as within the congregation.

Building and Grounds
Our new building has many advantages over the old one. The building and grounds ministry has evolved to work with our sister congregation, First Christian Church (DOC) to keep the building and grounds a safe and holy place for the congregations to gather.
