Our Church Committees...

keep our programs running and facilitated voluntarily by members of the church. 

The Endowment Committee provides for mission work beyond the operational budget of this congregation, at home and around the world and to strengthen and extend God’s mission through Faith Lutheran Church. We reach out in response to human need, by making grants to promote and support education for Christian life and service. It provides ways for members who have the desire to benefit Faith Lutheran Church through charitable giving that is consistent with its mission of witnessing to the message of salvation through Jesus Christ on both a local and global level. Funds are managed by Thrivent Charitable Impact and Investing.

The Columbarium Committee manages our Columbarium -- where we inter our deceased, surrounded by a pond, memorial garden, beautiful dogwood tree and azaleas. Not only is our Columbarium a peaceful place in which to hold the ashes of our Faith family, but it is an area where you are welcome to sit, meditate, and breathe.

The Facilities Management & Maintenance Team handles all-things-property. We address broken sprinklers, adjust light timers, oversee repairs and maintenance, and make sure everything is kept up to code. Our goal is to make sure each area of our campus is comfy and safe for our parishioners. 

The Equipping Team oversees community connection at Faith. We especially place an emphasis on making sure people feel (A) welcomed, and (B) that there is a place to serve here, and it is not difficult to find. We meet once a month and welcome anybody to join our team who feels passionate about inspiring others and forming connections.
