Because \u201cChurch\u201d doesn\u2019t \u2018just happen,\u2019 we have a lot of people working hard to make sure it does. Committees help us live out our mission and values by keeping members of our community accountable to each other. Our committees are made up of people who either have skills to share or they simply know a need is present in the community and want to help through the work of committees! Sometimes the work we do makes us feel closer to each other and God. Sometimes the work consists of the messy things a community must do to keep itself and its leadership healthy or keep the building running efficiently. We think all aspects of committees are pieces of what it means to be church.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>
