Tithing & Donations
Why does a church need money? It helps with our mission & ministry. Money is used for our mortgage, pastoral salary, health insurance, housing allowance, office expenses, maintenance, repairs, snow removal, and supplies for the operation of our church.

Women’s Group Annual Fundraiser
The Women’s Group holds their annual vivacious live auction late in the summer. Our church attendees graciously donate items from their heart to our group for the auction. Some of the items donated are baked goods, jams, meals, vegetables & fruits from their gardens, paintings, stained glass, pottery, leather work, quilts, clothing and woodwork just to name a few. All funds raised are used for their yearly service projects, monetary donations for disaster relief or special projects. There is always a lot of laughter, fun and energetic bidding to be had by all!
Lay Leaders and Readers
Giving your gift of service
Sunday Service a Volunteer Leader helps lead the service by reading the bulletin & directing the congregation of what song or reading is next. The Reader reads the daily prayer and scripture readings to the congregation. There’s a sign up in the fellowship hall for both. You’ll be given the readings a few days before.
Snacks for Fellowship After Service
