Committee on Ministry
|
Model for COM
The Committee on Ministry (COM) is implementing a new approach to accomplish its work. The churches of Presbytery are divided into eight groupings. Each grouping of churches will have a contact person from COM. The groupings and the contacts are as follows:
-
North West: Bob Edwards
-
North Central : Marilyn Nelson
-
North East: Ellen Misialek
-
Grand Forks Area: Ellen Misialek & Marilyn Nelson
-
MN North West: Daniel Wolpert
-
South West: Cathy Bliss & Jake Kincaid
-
South Central: Nancy Emerson & Dixon Moorhead
-
South East: Daniel Wolpert & Dale Shook
Would you like to be a liaison to a neighboring congregation? The persons listed above are in the process of identifying and recruiting ministers or elders who are willing to serve as a COM liaison to another congregation in their grouping. Liaisons are volunteers who are trained as designees of COM to help COM meet its responsibilities to pastors, Christian educators, CLPs, sessions and congregations. Liaisons serve as long as they are happy to do so. In general, the major responsibility of a liaison is to develop a relationship with a nearby congregation: to offer support, to listen to needs and concerns, and to enhance communication. If you are an elder or pastor and would like to serve as a COM liaison, please contact one of the persons listed above or the moderator of COM, Deanna Reikow (701-663-5788 or email fpcmandan@hotmail.com )
