About
The focus of this committee shall be community building and nurturing within the meeting congregation and out in the community. It involves seeing ourselves as sent out by Christ and going out of our way, envisioning and implementing service within and beyond the traditional parameters of the church building. It also provides opportunities, resources, and practices for looking beyond ourselves to the people around us and sharing the love of Christ as we serve and connect with our community.
The goal is to connect and care for church members of all ages and actively work to welcome our neighbors and friends into the church. In times of need, we want to provide care for church members and those affiliated with the church.
