The Property Committee plays a vital role in fulfilling our congregation’s vision of environmental stewardship and creating a safe, welcoming space for all.

In alignment with our mission, we collaborate with other commissions to plan upgrades and additions that promote sustainability and environmental care. By thoughtfully managing our resources and facilities, we aim to honor God’s creation while providing a safe, inviting space for members, staff, and visitors alike.
