OUR MINISTRIES
Every ministry of our church depends on the gifts, energy, and faith of our members. Each of us has something unique to offer — whether it’s time, talent, creativity, compassion, or practical skills. Our boards and committees provide meaningful ways to serve, build relationships, and help our congregation live out its mission. We invite you to explore the boards listed below and prayerfully consider where your interests and gifts might best be used in service to God and our community.
Worship & Arts
Would you enjoy helping with the creation of an artistic environment to enhance our worship areas of the church? Hanging banners, arranging seasonal items, flowers, plants, wreaths, planning for the church year seasons (Hanging of the Greens, Lent, Easter, Pentecost) are all activities that need creative people! We would love to have you join the Worship and Arts Board and bring new creativity to Our Savior’s.
Church in Society
The Church in Society Board guides the congregation’s outreach and service to the community and world. It identifies needs, organizes service opportunities, and encourages members to live out their faith through compassion, justice, and social action. This board often partners with local charities, food pantries, shelters, and mission organizations.

The Evangelism Board focuses on sharing the good news of Jesus Christ within the congregation and beyond. It encourages members to invite and welcome others, promotes visitor hospitality, and helps the church grow in spirit and membership through outreach and witness.
