The basic organizational structure of the fellowship is based on small groups of people who take on a specific task necessary to keep the fellowship operating. We warmly welcome any friend or member to match up their interests and join a committee. Our committees cover a wide range of areas, and its one of the best ways to really get to know a group of people within the congregation.
