A sub-committee of United Ministries, the Fellowship Committee organizes our events such as Coffee Hour, Lenten Dinner Church, and other celebrations throughout the year to encourage our relationship with one another.
Our Mission Statement:
The Fellowship Committee shall provide opportunity for growth in the friendships of our congregation members and invited guests. Fellowship shall endeavor to do this through hosting and overseeing special interest groups, meals for special services and occasions, and special celebrations. Fellowship shall remain dedicated to enriching our congregation’s relationships with one another through our shared Christian values.

Although this committee does not go door to door in an attempt to spread the Good News, we do sponsor events that will help bring people together from our Community for fellowship opportunities and mission projects alike. These events are a fun way to gather and share the love of God with others! Our events are open to members as well as to the community so we do hope you'll keep your eyes open for upcoming events and invite a friend!
If you are interested in sharing your time & talents with this committee or if you would simply like more information, please contact a committee member or the church office. New members are always welcome!

Our Mission Statement:
We shall stimulate and lead all members of the congregation in continuous and, from time to time, concerted endeavors to reawaken the spiritually indifferent with the Gospel and to unite them with Christ's Church. To this end, the committee shall devote itself to deepening spiritual life and shall periodically study the congregation in the context of its surrounding community.

Our Social Ministry Committee manages and runs our Community Assistance Programs like the Strunk Food Pantry and Christ's Cafe. The Committee runs many other annual programs to help the needy within our own Congregation and the surrounding community. They send out college care packages during finals week, put together mailings for shuts-ins, collect food for and assemble Thanksgiving Food Baskets and Christmas Food Baskets. The members of this committee also work closely with our Christian Education Committee in order to include our Youth Group and Sunday School classes in these charitable projects. Currently, the committee is in contact with many local community advocacy groups to be of assistance to them as needs arise within the community.
Social Ministry is always in need of extra hands. New members are welcome to join at any time. Let anyone on the committee know if you are aware of someone in need. All requests for assistance are kept confidential. Taking care of our neighbors is all part of God's plan for us.
“Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
Philippians 2:4
Our Mission Statement:
The purpose of this committee shall be to extend Christian compassion and helpfulness to the ill, the aged, the orphaned, the underprivileged, the imprisoned and, in general, to persons of all ages in need of aid in body or soul. It shall strive to enlist in these efforts as many possible of the individual members and organizations of the congregation. This committee shall further have the duty to study conditions, primarily in the local community, in order to bring the cleansing and healing light of Christian truth to bear upon critical problems through thoughtful Christian discussion of facts and issues.
