Worship Committee 

Christ’s church exists to worship God. The members of the worship committee help the congregation to understand the meaning, purpose, and the practice of worship. They work with the pastor and the music director with a goal of providing vital and alive worship experiences for the congregation. They encourage the use of spiritual devotional material, and the spiritual disciplines such as prayer, bible reading and study. For more information, contact Pastor Rev. Se Gye Shin or Hawley Arnold. 

Lay Leader 

The 2012 General Conference of the United Methodist Church adopted several resolutions that formally changed the name of this lay ministry to Lay Servant Ministries from the previous Lay Speaking Ministries. Lay servant ministry remains a United Methodist system for lay leadership development. The basic and advanced courses are designed to help persons develop their skills in leadership, communication, and care-giving. Participating in this training as it is offered helps you build relationships with other lay leaders. In this way you increase opportunity for yourself and for your congregation to be in ministry with others, your credibility as a leader is enhanced.

According to the Discipline, a lay servant is a professing member of a local church or charge conference who is ready and desirous to serve the Church and who is well informed on and committed to the Scriptures and the doctrine, heritage, organization and life of The United Methodist Church. A lay servant has received specific training to develop skills in witnessing to the Christian faith through spoken communication, church and community leadership, and care-giving ministries. Lay servants, both local church and certified, must submit an annual report to their charge conference and be re-approved annually.
