Our life together is organized into four ministry groups, each led by a COS-elected position serving a 3-year term. Tap any team to see the details and who to reach out to.
Spiritual encouragement, relationship-building, and care within the church body. The largest group by headcount, with the most cross-functional ministry work.
Elected — COS voting member, 3-year term.
By-Laws amendment needed to officially move here from Community.
Friends Day and Nat'l Day of Prayer also serve outreach — coordinate with Community Leader. Sight & Sound is a new addition — confirm annually.

Evaluate current activity level. Carry forward if active.
Exterior Design sits at the boundary between Fellowship and Trustees, who oversee buildings and grounds. Recommendation: place under Trustees since it is property-related, with Fellowship Group Leader as liaison for seasonal or decorating decisions.
Ministries reaching beyond the church — evangelism, holiday giving, and outreach events. The Community Leader carries the additional financial reporting obligation per the By-Laws.

NEW in 2024. Financial activity reported through Community Leader per By-Laws. Paver Engraving is a 2026 addition — currently tracked by Trustees; add here formally.
NEW 2026. Needs By-Laws amendment. Could also sit under Trustees.
Safety spans multiple areas: physical building safety (Trustees), care for congregants in emergencies (Deacons/Fellowship), and safety during outreach events (Community). Recommendation: place Safety under Community since the Group Leader already coordinates external-facing activities and has financial reporting accountability. A By-Laws amendment is required regardless of where it lands.
Teaching, formation, and discipleship — from children through adults. Several ministries overlap with Worship (Sunday School, Bible Study) and Fellowship (Children's Church, VBS).
Elected — COS voting member, 3-year term.
Education owns content; Worship owns the service slot logistics.

2024 draft proposed Fellowship. Recommend keeping in Education — tied to Clerk.
2024 draft proposed Fellowship. Recommend keeping in Education — tied to Clerk's membership records.
Sunday School and Wednesday Bible Study appear in both Education and Worship categories across different documents. The clearest resolution is that Education owns the content and curriculum while Worship owns the logistics of the service in which they occur.
All ministries related to Sunday and Wednesday worship services, including the significantly expanded Tech Team — the group most impacted by the church's growing technology footprint.
Elected — COS voting member, 3-year term.
Worship Leader also serves as Service Leader per 2024 data.
Volunteers needed.
Scope has doubled since 2023. See recommended sub-structure below.
NEW 2026. Recommended as sub-team within Tech Team under Worship. Social channels and giving link are 2026 additions — formalize ownership.
Small but consistent need. Can be managed within Worship Service Team.
Communications overlaps with Worship (bulletins, announcements), Community (social media outreach and Friends Day promotion), and the Clerk (official church calendar, member communications). Recommendation: place Communications as a formal sub-team within the Tech Team under Worship, with a clear coordination protocol to the Clerk and to the Community Leader. This avoids creating a fifth elected Group Leader.
The Tech Team has grown from basic slides and audio into a full digital ministry spanning website, social media, livestream, recording and publishing, and now Communications. This scope warrants a formal sub-structure within Worship Ministries with three sub-teams under one Tech Team Leader:
