The
Spiritual Formation Committee acts as a liaison between groups that administer worship and educational functions, and
the Church Council. These groups include youth ministry, adult education, worship services, music ministry, and chancel care.
In addition, this committee works to recruit volunteers needed to perform these functions. The committee maintains a record
of the responsibilities and duties that these volunteers perform as well as points of contact. Issues or concerns in any of
these areas that require guidance of the Council should be brought to this committee. We generally meet the 3rd
Tuesday of each month from 7-8PM after which there is a regularly scheduled Council meeting from 8-9PM.
