Our church is also greatly served by its different committees.

The Christian Education committee oversees the different education programs that take place in the church from Sunday school to Vacation Bible School.  It is chaired by Patti Andrews and Martha Dixon serves as the liaison to the Session.

The Building and Grounds committee works to ensure that our building is safe and maintained.  Roger Tarbox is the liaison with the Session for this committee.

The Witness and Service committee works with all the different outreach ministries of the church.  They have made connections with the Presbyterian Home for Children and other denominational and local organizations.  This committee is chaired by Jane Dill and Tommy Halcomb serves as the Session liaison.

The Worship committee deals with all things related to our worship services.  It is chaired by James McCorkle and he also serves as the liaison to the Session.

Each of our committees is always looking for new members and new ideas.   They are a great place to begin getting involved with our congregation.
