Christian Education Ministry
The Christian Education ministry is responsible for providing educational materials for all age levels in our church. We also organize Vacation Bible School and Congregational Day Camp in the summer. We provide funds for those young people who are required to attend Confirmation Camp in June so that they attend for free. We also provide funding for children who would like to attend resident camp at either Camp Kirchenwald or Camp Nawakwa. We are responsible for maintaining the audio/visual closets and their contents. We meet the second Wednesday of each month at 6:15 in the church parlor.
Currently there are five members of our ministry but we are always looking for more. Those serving on this ministry are:
