Our church community includes not only those who worship together here on Sundays (and other times, especially around Christmas and Holy Week) but also the Batavia Nursery School, and Boy Scout Troop 43. We are intentional about creating connections between people and building a strong community.

The Connection Team coordinates the responsibilities and activities of the church, working as a recruiting office and clearinghouse for volunteering. In addition to the Ministry Teams, there are subteams to handle such functions as Sunday morning activities outside of worship (coffee, for instance); planning fellowship and fundraising events; and caring for members in times of stress . If you’re interested in serving in any of these ways, the church office can get you in contact with Connection chair Susan Price.

Outreach

The Outreach Team looks to be the hands and feet of Jesus by helping (mostly) local human service organizations meet their goals. We offer our time, talent and financial resources to these local organizations, with activities including our Christmas Gift Fair and service projects, as well as coordinating our giving to denominational charities.

“I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger and you invited me in,
I needed clothes and you clothed me,
I was sick and you looked after me,
I was in prison and you came to visit me."

— Matthew 25:35-37
