The Fellowship
Ministry is
responsible for providing fellowship opportunities for
the congregation, so that the corporate life of the
church might be strengthened. The Fellowship Ministry
strengthens our congregational community by providing
times outside of worship and learning opportunities for
members to get to know one another through participation
in creative activities. This ministry strives to bring
activities to the church that appeal to all ages and
interests, and extend the joy and spirit of our church
life to friends and others throughout the community. It
is our hope that gathering in community for fun and
fellowship will help members be more engaged in the
corporate life of the church. The Associate Pastor for
Congregational Nurture serves as staff resource. The
ministry often joins with other church ministries in
planning and carrying out large church events.
The Fellowship Ministry plans for and
hosts many different annual church-wide activities that
include:
-
