The Committees of Our Church

SESSION COMMITTEES

Christian Education
The growth, life and future of the Church belong to our
children. The Christian Education Committee is responsible
for developing programs and curriculum so our congregation
may learn more about Jesus and our faith.

Communications Taskforce
The objective of the Communications Taskforce is to find new
ways to communicate God's word and our church activities to
the members of ALPC and the community at large. Since its
recent inception, the taskforce has coordinated the Church
Member survey, worked to redesign the church website,
www.avonlakepc.org, and is continually working to use various
media outlets to inform and to invite people into our family of
faith.

Endowment Committee
The Endowment Committee is responsible for building and
developing the fund in order to create new opportunities for
ALPC; opportunities that can lead to new mission, building &
grounds and/or programs for our church and community.

Finance Committee
The Church is a non-profit organization; however, a church
requires adequate funds to support projects, programs and the
overall mission of the Church and community. With this
comes budgets, expenses, bank accounts, insurance and
financial operations of an active and growing organization.

The HR Committee is responsible for developing
compensation and benefit programs for the ALPC staff,
Associate Pastor and Pastor, as well as conducting evaluative
reviews to assist staff members to achieve their potential.
