Boards & Committees

Plymouth Congregational Church

Board of Trustees

Responsible for handling most of the financial aspects of operating the church, Trustees receive and count money and work with the treasurer. Trustees also oversee all physical aspects of a church property and buildings, and must be present to sign legal documents, such as mortgage or rental documents.

Monthly meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm in the Church library.

Mission-Outreach Board

The Mission-Outreach Board strives to connect Plymouth’s resources and passion for loving service with places and people in need…be they near or far away. We invite the entire church family to join in sharing Christ’s love with our community and our world.

Endowment Committee

Provide financial support to the Church’s ministry which includes Community Outreach, Capital Improvements for the Church and UCC Programs. This assistance is above and beyond annual stewardship pledges.

Preserve the Endowment Fund capital while producing allocable earnings with conservative investments. Serve as a subcommittee to the Trustees.

Meets as necessary.

Diaconate Board

The three main responsibilities of the Diaconate Board are: worship, Fellowship, and membership. We maintain the schedule for Greeters, Liturgists and acolytes at all of our services and Advent Readers for the 4 weeks prior to Christmas. We thank all of those who served in any of these capacities. We provide and prepare the Communion elements for Communion Sundays. Thank you also, Betsy and Barbara for keeping the pews straightened up and replenishing, other needed supplies.

Monthly meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 9:00 am in the Church library.

Pastoral Relations Committee

The Pastoral Relations Committee works closely with congregants and our Pastor to insure quality communication between pastor and members. The Committee lends their wisdom to Steven and serves as a sounding board for new ideas, staffing, and pastoral support.

Meets as necessary.

Personnel Committee

Responsible for all issues regarding staff. Meets as necessary with Board Chairs or designees from the Diaconate, Trustees and Christian Education Boards to review and enforce required procedures and state employment requirements. Assist the Board Chairs with mentoring, supervising and reviewing the performance of the staff members for whom they are responsible. Review job descriptions and, when necessary, handle job postings, hiring and ending employment. Periodically review the Personnel Handbook and make revisions as needed.
