Church Teams
The work of the church is conducted through teams which utilize member's talents, energy,
love and devotion to ensure that the needs of the church and the community are met. Everyone is invited and encouraged to come and serve the church as we work to further God's Kingdom here on earth.

Evangelism Team
The primary task of the ministery work on the Evangelism Team is to ensure that our congregation reaches out to people with the good news of Jesus Christ and receives them into its care so that they may develop a relationship with God and live as Christian disciples. We work and visit people who have visited our church on Sundays. Visitor cards are collected from each service and and visits are made. The visits are brief and a packet of information about our church is left with the family and an invitation to visit our church again is extended. Follow-up visits are also made.
Our Team wishes to express an invitation to anyone desiring to help share the "Good News" of Christ with our vistors and local community. If you need further information, have any questions, or know of any newcomers in our community, please contact Dustin Miller or Pastor Eric.
Missions Team
We are blessed to have sent our very own John, Ana and John Isreal Lamon to Honduras! Please go to our Honduras page for the full story of our endeavors.
In the past we have supported UMCOR's domestic disaster responses with flood buckets, health kits, layette kits, school kits, sewing kits, etc. For a complete description of UMCOR kits and endeavors, click here.
In addition, to participating in the Shoebox Ministery which helps the homeless and working poor, we operate the local community Food Pantry. If you know of anyone in our community that needs help, please contact Beverly Collins or Pastor Eric.
Nurture Team
The goals of this team are to care for the spiritual and physical needs of our congregation and community. This is a very active and caring group and we welcome anyone to join us. Some of our activities are:
Operate the Prayer Chain.
Prepare meals for the family and/or friends of deceased members.
Sponsor most Pot Luck dinners.
Serve a light Sunday Brunch between early service and Sunday School.
Enlist Nursery Helpers for Sunday services.
Coordinate the Christmas Card Program for the congregation.
Our church has a large Prayer Chain. Many people have volunteered to pray for those in need. If an illness or
need arises during the week, the chain is begun with a phone call to a member of the prayer team and that person calls the chain leaders who, in turn, will contact their members. If you would like to be kept posted of needs or illnesses in our community so you may pray and would like your name added (or deleted) from the list, Please contact David Jean.
If you have any questions about the Nurture Team, or are willing to join this busy group, contact Frances Morgan or Betty Lou Wilson.
