Ministry Council & Sub-Committees
The general charge to the council is in providing overall leadership & oversight for the spiritual wellbeing, ministry, and business of the church. There are 3 current oversight categories described in the bylaws as policy formation, planning process, budget. Work is delegated by the council to sub-committees & ministry divisions that oversee four main areas of church life, worship, family, adults, & outreach.
