To become involved in the church can be a simple matter of finding a group that meets your interests.  Once you've found a group, call the contact person and hop on board!   If you are unsure of how to get involved, feel free to talk to someone on the Connections Committee, Greetings and Membership or the minister.  Together we can make it happen!

What you seek may not yet be happening in the Church.  If that's the case, consider taking the initiative to make it happen by contacting a member of the Program Council (comprised of the chairs of each committee) or attending a Program Council meeting.  Talking with the minister about your vision is another possibility.
