Our Council

OUR COUNCIL and STRUCTURE


At the 2010 Annual General Meeting the congregational approved a Church Council Structure. We have three main committees: Stewardship & Finance, Worship, and Ministry & Personnel. Within the Worship committee there are separate teams / people with different responsibilities:

 

  • Community Building who organize all our social activities within the church, including snacks after church etc.
  • Christian Education involves those people who help to organize Kid’s Quest and the Adult Educational study groups that we run like the “Talkback” series.

 


The other Teams and Committees that report directly to the Council are:

 

  • Outreach who organize all Outreach work into the community and wider world.
  • Communications and Publicity who keep both the church congregation and the wider world informed about goings on in the church.
