Deacon Mission Statement:

  • to provide safe, clean, attractive, and appropriate facilities for ministry use
  • to facilitate sound stewardship by creating and monitoring a budget
  • to grow strong in our relationship with God becoming people who others follow
  • to enlist other people in our church to accomplish our mission as deacons

Volunteers Appreciated!

There are ongoing needs at the church which are changing constantly. If you have some expertise in home repair jobs or outside maintenance, call or email the deacon in charge of that area or the chairman, and you will be made  aware of the current needs. In general, outside maintenance involves mowing lawns (volunteers are needed constantly), cleaning gutters, clearing the creek, gardening, painting, fixing roofing leaks, and snow removal. Inside maintenance frequently involves fixing holes in walls, painting, plumbing issues, and other fix-it type jobs.
