Property Commission is tasked with taking care of all church buildings and land. This would include the church, youth center, farm house, Rader park and the barn. We make sure that everything is in working order, up to code and repair anything that would need repaired or replaced. We also work with other commissions regarding additions or upgrades that are needed or asked for to make the church safe and welcoming for members, staff and visitors.

Stewardship Commission serves the Congregation by promoting generous stewardship practices and by providing oversight of the Church’s finances.  The Commission chairperson is selected by the Commission. The Commission reports to the Council, and to the congregation at least annually through a written report. The Commission works to plan and carry out a year-round promotion of stewardship, including, at least annually, campaigns for pledges of time, talents, and financial contributions to the church. Planned Giving efforts include promotion of gifts from one’s estate. Instruments of planned giving may include wills, various forms of trusts, annuities and insurance policies as well as outright gifts of money, securities or property.

The Outreach Commission is a very active group that supports the many needs of our community and beyond. Year round we collect donations of food, personal supplies and home care supplies for those in need. Throughout the year we collect donations for various ministries in our Apostles Caring Carts. These collections change about every two months. Our Seeds of Hope garden provides food to local food banks and the Power Pack program. Outreach also “advertises” all of the Special Offerings throughout the year and makes certain that the monetary donations go to the intended recipients. Globally we have supported refugees from several countries, students attending schools In Honduras, the Philippines, and Kenya, and victims of national disasters such as floods and hurricanes. Our mission is to feed the hungry spiritually and physically.
