Safe Church Committee
First Lutheran Church, as a spiritual community, takes seriously its responsibility to provide a safe and nurturing environment for persons of all ages who are entrusted to its care. Our mission must also be to protect those who have responsibilities as leaders and teachers and as such we have set up a policy and system to provide for a safe church environment for all which includes background checks for all employees and volunteers and tracking of all who have keys to the church building.

Shepherding Ministry
The Shepherding Ministry works to keep members of the First Lutheran community connected. This group sends the weekly bulletin to our homebound, makes phone calls, visits, and sends cards to those who cannot attend worship as well as facilitating rides to church for those in need.

Stewardship Committee
The Stewardship Committee works to encourage and educate our community in its response to God’s call to share the gifts of time, money, and talents that God has entrusted to us.

Trust Fund Committee
Started in 1990, the First Lutheran Church Trust Fund exists to receive and administer financial gifts to the congregation for use in the ministry of the congregation and outreach to the community.
