Nurture
The Nurture Committee focuses on the people side of the Church.  That is, it claims, expands and adds to the particular tasks of the local church such as Christian education; worship organization; aiding to the stewardship of life; and oversight of the care of those in the challenging and difficult circumstances such as having a lifelong illness, being restricted in travel, etc.
Outreach
The primary task of the outreach committee is to involve the congregation in spreading the gospel through witness and service throughout the world. This is primarily done though our food pantry that has become a joint action uniting individuals, churches, businesses and community leaders in going beyond what it 'normally' means to care for our community neighbors.
Witness
The primary task of witness is to communicate the good news of Jesus to our community.  This area encourages,designs, and gives instruction in loving those outside the church by actions and verbal witness that points to Jesus.  This may be also be done through television, radio, newspapers, mail-outs, and phone calls.
Trustees
This group's primary function is to care for existing property and to oversee the design of new architectural pieces within the church. 
Church Council
The church council is the executive agency that oversees all the decisions of the church with Christ-centered decisions.  
Lay Leadership

Finance
This area oversees the budget, and fund-raising, and the financial spending of the local church
