Serving on Church Council

Strengthen Faith Foundation of Concordia
- Renew youth mentoring program. Create committee (to include one council member) to establish guidelines and “commitment pledges” for mentees and mentors.
- Each council member, connect (via conversation or in writing) with young adults in our congregation/community, offering words of encouragement and extend invitations of worship at Concordia.
Increase Mission Outreach
- Collaborate with First Lutheran to identify a local mission opportunity to be shared by both congregations.
- Partner with our Growing In God’s Presence (G.I.G.P) youth group to identify and complete a community project. Council members to provide advice, council, guidance and prayer.
Maintain Concordia’s physical structures
- Identify grant support and coordinate replacement of ramp at entrance of the church. Facilitate replacement of parsonage driveway and potentially expand concrete for handicap space on east side of church.
- Contract with local tree service to evaluate pin oaks, east and west of the church.
Preparing for the Future
- Council members solicit suggestions on ways to use memorial funds and provide a “Memorial Funds Usage Suggestion List” to the Memorial Committee (Andrea Johnson).
