Ministries & Missions
The working groups which are called committees or boards in many churches are called Ministries at CFC to emphasize that the work we do is a vital part of the ministry of our church.
Emphasizing the work of an empowered laity (in addition to the work of the clergy) has long been a strength of our congregation. Each of the Ministries is also represented on the Deacons.
