Milestones Team Focus:  To assist in aspects of worship by preparing needed elements.  To select ushers for accommodating the needs of guests during worship service.  To encourage participation of the church body in fellowship.  To greet those who worship and attend Sunday School.  To direct persons to places for activity  (auditorium, classroom, restrooms, nursery.)  To identify areas of interest or gifts.

Church Property Team: To exercise good stewardship in the maintenance of the owned property of the church. To attend to scheduled and unplanned maintenance on the church van. To keep the grounds and the buildings in good order. To plan the growth of the physical plant of the church.

The Church has accepted our architect's proposal for a Master Site Plan that balances our needs for a greater capacity in worship, fellowship, education and parking.  The proposal is long-term and visionary:  its completion depends on our vision of the Lord's will for our ministry here.
The team will pray about this program and solicits the prayers of the whole Church.  When they are confident that the Lord has revealed how we should proceed with planned growth, they will present it to the Church in Conference for a vote of approval.  Be in prayer that the Team will discern God's will in this and that the church will move forward in faith and obedience when His will is clear.

To reach guests in person, by telephone, or by letter to thank them for coming and to offer them information about the church.
