Committees

Did you ever wonder how First Church is organized?  When you hear references to “Finance Committee” or “Care Council” or “Trustees,” do you ever wonder what all of that is, who serves on  the committees, what those groups do for the church, and how (perhaps) you could be a part of it?  To help you better understand the organization that we call our congregation and to encourage you to consider helping out, here is a brief summary.

First United Methodist Church is organized by committees (lay members) who strive to support the work of Christian ministry here in the following ways …
CARE COUNCIL












Extends Christ’s love to members and friends of the congregation.  Helping out in times of need…...that’s what the Care Council tries to do, and it’s what we all need more of!  For instance, when people can’t get to important commitments like church or a doctor’s office or when they are going into or getting out of the hospital – that’s when extra help is often welcome.  So here are three (3) really important programs the Care Council supports: 
  • Transportation Ministry – call the church office 24 hours in advance for a ride to or from church or a scheduled doctor’s visit (in Sun City, please). 
  • Post-Hospitalization Meal Ministry – call the church office to have something good to eat when you are discharged from the hospital. 
  • Pet-Sitting Ministry – call the church office before you go to the hospital to have someone take care of Spot or Fluffy while you are away.​
CHURCH COUNCIL

​
All of the committee heads – along with staff, lay leaders and secretary and Pastors Lois and Tom – meet monthly as the Church Council to receive reports and develop long-term plans for the church.
CHURCH GROWTH
