LAY LEADERSHIP

First United Methodist Church depends upon gifted and generous members of the congregation to lead and shape the life of the community, in a trusting partnership with its pastors. Our church is blessed with strong lay leadership on our various committees, ministries, teams, and task forces. We believe that everyone in our community, new and familiar, has something important to offer, and we aim to help everyone who wishes to have active involvement in the church to find just the right place for their strengths and gifts. If you are interested in a leadership position or would like to contact someone in a leadership role, please call the church office.
