Living Out Our Mission

Worship and Music: The Worship and Music Team oversees all aspects of the worship and music life of the congregation.  The team tends to all of the detailed planning and implementation of worship.  With the chair, they prepare for and implement worship, particularly during the seasons of Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter.

Adult Ministry: The Adult Ministry Team provides opportunities for adult learning and spiritual growth through a variety of classes (on Sunday mornings and during the week), study groups, retreats, and small groups.

Social Concerns: The Social Concerns Team is responsible for encouraging the congregation to extend Christian compassion and provide service to the community of Cross of Life, our neighborhoods, and to the world in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The team strengthens existing programs and partnerships and encourages stewardship through donations and participation in missions.

Stewardship: Giving back to God is an act of worship and the Stewardship Team oversees a program by which members of this congregation share time, talent, and financial resources to support the work of Christ through this congregation and through church as a whole.

Children’s Ministry: The Children’s Ministry Team provides programming to teach the Bible, passing on our faith to the next generation, and providing fellowship opportunities for our youngest members. Due to the pandemic and safety concerns, we currently offer Sunday School, First Communion instruction, nursery care, and some outdoor special events.

Parish Care: Parish Care provides care and nurture to the members of the congregation through ministries like the Meals Ministry, Funeral Reception Team, Stephen Ministers, Prayer Team, and the Fellowship Team, which provides fellowship opportunities for the congregation.

Evangelism: The intent of the Evangelism Team is to provide a loving, friendly, and welcoming environment for all people; orient and engage new members into our congregation; provide online worship opportunities, and promote our congregation within the community via advertising, publicity and personal invitation.

Youth Ministry: The Youth Ministry Team provides guidance and support to the Youth of the congregation, encouraging them to:  1) serve and strengthen one another; 2) offer themselves in service, fellowship and leadership to the congregation, the wider church and community; 3) reach out in love and hospitality to other youth; all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Property: The Property Team sees to the proper maintenance and protection of all property of the congregation, thus allowing Cross of Life to share our facility with the community.
