Ministry Teams

• Animal Ministry
  The Animal Ministry is involved in local animal rescue and prevention resources.
• Bookstore
  Available in the Social Hall whenever the church is open, the Bookstore carries a good selection of helpful books, with an emphasis on promoting wholeness, healing, and Christian growth. Several titles cover the Gay and Christian questions, plus you’ll find inspiring biographies, devotionals, Bibles, and a few surprises.
• Children’s Ministry
  Our team of teachers presents God’s word to our children in an innovative Workshop rotation setting, which accommodates many different ways that children learn. Besides teaching the lesson, we take time to be a listening ear for them, sharing in their troubles and joys; and offering a Christian perspective to their search for answers. Also see this page.
• Choirs and Music Ministry
  This exciting ministry includes several choirs and special musicians who offer their talents back to God. It is our primary mission to learn more about our individual blessings and to develop them in such a way that will inspire and strengthen the spiritual vision of others.
• Communion Team
  This Team is responsible for serving communion to the congregation. The goal of the Team is to ensure that communion is a reverent, moving time of encouragement and exhortation.
• Groundskeepers
  This group keeps our church grounds in good condition. Tasks include mowing the grass and other seasonal yard work. There are two sub-teams: The Mowing Team, and the Gardening Team.
• Homeless Ministry
  This team works directly with a shelter in Indianapolis. This team has a passion for letting the homeless know that they are worthy of God’s love.
• Hospitality
  The Hospitality Team plans and coordinates our social time after worship. They plan menus, purchase refreshments (out of funds provided by the Church), present the refreshments in an appealing manner, and clean up the kitchen and social hall afterwards.
• Justice Ministry
  The Justice Ministry leads our congregation’s efforts to advocate justice for GLBT people, and others who are disadvantaged or oppressed.  We work as part of the Interfaith Coalition on Nondiscrimination (ICON) to promote justice in large and small ways.
• Media Team
  This team coordinates all of the audio and video elements of our Sunday worship services.
• Nursery
  This group cares for the little ones (infants and toddlers) during the Sunday worship service. Also see this page.
• Pastoral Care Team
  The Pastoral Care Team provides spiritual support and nurture to the congregation.  They offer intercessory prayer and comfort one-on-one after worship services, and pray for all the requests submitted by the congregation. They provide care to members and friends of our congregation in times of distress or illness. This team works closely with our Board of Deacons.
• Temple Keepers
  This group works to keep our Church building in good condition.  Tasks include cleaning and minor maintenance.
• Ushers and Greeters
  This team welcomes folks to worship and helps the service to proceed smoothly. Ushers show people to seats, distribute bulletins, collect the offering and assist with communion. Ushers are a visible and vital part of the church service.
• Word Alive! (Scripture Reading Team)
  Scripture readers strive to breath life into the reading of the Word of God during worship services.
