Committee Structure
The
Property Committee
The purpose of the property committee is to maintain and care
for the church property and building. We do such things as
painting, small electric repair, plumbing, flooring and many
tasks that our countless extra helpers feel they can do in a
safe and orderly fashion. We work from a set budget that is part
of our annual budget for all committees. Many times we receive
help from non committee members who are interested in helping
out. We are always grateful for the extra help that come from
the congregation. If anyone is interested in joining the
property committee please speak with the office.
Communications Committee
This committee is responsible for making sure the mission and message of the
congregation is communicated effectively not only to its members but the community at large. Our members have been involved in several projects including the creation of a new church photo directory, improving the taping and broadcast of Sunday services and the redesign of the St. Andrew’s website.
Finance and Stewardship Committee
Members of this committee are entrusted with the responsibility of the church’s finances and the stewardship of its resources. The committee prepares the church’s annual operating budget, maintains a financial statement of accounts and balances and annually reviews the total objective of the congregation including local, regional and national needs.
Board of Trustees
The purpose of this board is to hold in trust all property, buildings and furnishings of the congregation for the United Church of Canada. In doing so, members deal with all aspects of church property and its furnishings relating to any physical change, ownership or sale. They also must keep records of any monies received by the Board (donation or bequest), or spent, and any changes in property or major furnishings.
Ministry and Personnel Committee
This committee serves an important role by providing support and guidance to staff of the pastoral charge as well as members of the congregation. Members are responsible for making recommendations to council on items such as working conditions and
remuneration and they regularly review the responsibilities of all church staff and revise position descriptions when requested.
