A welcoming and enjoyable RE program is important in creating a "family friendly" Fellowship. The RE Committee has the charter to create an age-appropriate Religious Education program for our children ages 5 and up. It is also responsible for the care of children under 5. Members of the committee help plan our program, improve our teaching environment, teach an occasional Sunday lesson, or organize and facilitate an activity with their favorite age group. Committee members and volunteers DO NOT need to be parents or have young children in the program.
If you have kids in RE, or like kids, or like RE, your participation is welcome.

One of this committee's mandates, to oversee the hiring of a part-time minister, was accomplished in September of 2008. Another task of this committee is to look for ways to physically accommodate larger crowds at our Sunday services knowing that in the future Sunset Highway will be widened and we will lose our two buildings.

The Committee on Ministry exists to assist the congregation and the minister in assessing and affirming vibrant ministry. Typically this committee functions as a vehicle for communication between the congregation and the minister, and as a support group for that minister, but can have additional functions. It consists of one member appointed by the Board, one by the minister, and the third appointed by the other two appointees.
