The Committee on Ministry exists to support the ministry and the minister of
the church. Our responsibilities are:
. To aid the minister in conducting an effective ministry by being
available for confidential counsel;
. To keep the minister advised concerning conditions within the
congregation that affect relationships between the minister and congregants
in the interest of strengthening and improving relationships;
. To consult with the minister and submit an annual compensation
recommendation to the Finance Committee which, in turn, makes
recommendations to the Board of Trustees;
. To interpret to the congregation the nature and scope of the work
of the minister; and
. To work with the minister on a continuing education program,
sabbatical planning, and other professional development, and to advocate
such plans with the Board of Trustees and the congregation.
Committee members this year are David Gross, Kathleen Holden, Geoff Levin
(chair), and Lynn Wiley (Board liaison). The committee meets monthly with
Axel. If you have questions or concerns (or compliments) about Axel's
ministry, we invite you to share them with any member of the committee.
