SESSION MINISTRY AREAS:

The Administration Ministry oversees the building and finance, personnel and legacy gifts of the congregation. To do so, three "subteams" make up the Administration Ministry. The Building and Finance Ministry Team is responsible for the financial health of the congregation as it oversees the ministry budget and stewardship life of our community of faith. The Personnel Ministry Team cares for the staff of our church. They conduct annual reviews of our staff and make recommendations concerning the compensation our staff receives. The Legacy Gifts Ministry Team is focused on the special giving of our congregation. They promote the giving to and distribution of memorial and special gifts. This team works closely with the Endowment Fund Advisory Panel.

The "Faith in Action" Care Team Ministry is a joint effort of the Deacons and Elders and is composed of three Elders and three Deacons working together, having the shared responsibility of serving the special unmet needs, on a temporary basis, of the congregation (and community) through providing and managing the following services: Mission Outreach, Light Yard Work/Light Home Maintenance, Loaves and Fishes and Transportation.

This Discipleship Ministry oversees the education programs of our congregation. They work with the nursery manager to ensure the young children of our congregation are cared for. Discipleship Ministry is responsible for recruiting, training and caring for the teachers in our Sunday school program. They work closely with our youth director regarding the youth program. Finally, this ministry is responsible for the coordination and implementation of our adult education program.

Welcoming Ministry

The purpose of the Welcoming Ministry Team is to bring people into a sense of belonging to Christ’s family and Christ’s body, the church. This purpose is accomplished through:   *  Worshipers feeling a sense of friendliness as they are welcomed on Sunday mornings, * Visitors being contacted during the week and invited to our new member class, * Encourage the involvement in the ministry of our congregation, *Genuine concern for those absent in worship, and * Building of a "family atmosphere" through various means of ministry (example: Second Sunday Celebration potluck lunches).

Worship Ministry

The purpose of the Worship Ministry is to provide a genuine worship experience where the people of First Presbyterian Church encounter God in a deep and personal way and God is worshiped and glorified by the community of faith. The Worship Ministry provides various avenues for all ages within the congregation to express their God given talents through creative mediums of art and music. Many dynamic methods are used to share the good news of Christ through our regular and special worship experiences. This team also oversees the administration of the sacraments of holy baptism and Holy Communion.
