Moderator: Donna Stettler

Meetings: First Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m.

Deacons serve our congregation in many ways, especially by connecting with members through visits, phone calls and greeting cards. Just a few of their many acts of service include: providing meals, celebrating newborns with roses in the sanctuary, delivering flowers to homebound members, preparing Communion elements for Worship, assist with in-home Communion, procuring daily devotional materials, arranging care packages for college students, and honoring recent graduates.

The Board of Trustees: Caring for God’s House

Trustees are elected by and from the congregation to serve for 3-year terms. They are men and women with various talents who serve the Lord by caring for the church’s property. This includes maintaining our grounds and facilities and performing many tasks that care for the church inside and out. The congregation has an opportunity to share in the work of the committee during the annual Spring beautification of the church grounds.
