Mutual Ministry
To whom do you turn when you have a pressing concern?
- you take it to God in prayer
- you may confide in a spouse, family member, or best friend
To whom do you turn when you have a concern about God’s Love?
- Mutual Ministry Committee – Nancy McPeak, Earl Monk, Chris Sassaman, Will Toppin, andAndi Webber
This committee has been revitalized to support the relationship of our pastors with the congregation. If you have a concern about God’s Love, know that you can approach any member of this committee, and your concern will be raised and discussed in complete confidentiality. Likewise, if the new Senior Pastor/and or Pastor Laura has a concern regarding the ministry to our congregation, he/she can raise that issue to this same committee. In addition, the Mutual Ministry would like to provide this same support for other members of the church staff and leadership. As we move into this exciting time as a congregation, we have a responsibility to grow together with the pastors as Partners in Christ. Let’s do so in a mutually supportive environment …. let Mutual Ministry help you do just that!
