view this year's chuch council meeting minutes.  

Church Council meets on the fourth Thursday every month at 7:00 PM at the Hampton Park Campus. The meeting is attended by Lay Leaders and Council members who are representatives of each ministry area of the church.  These are open meetings where all are invited to attend even if you are not on the council.

The Church Council Minutes are recorded each month and are approved at the next meeting.  All critical items that the leadership needs to vote on are included so this becomes an official church document that details decisions and discussions made by the church leadership.

2006 Town Hall Meetings


The Horizon Team held a Town Hall meeting for the purpose of presenting options available to us as we move forward on the construction at the Hampton Park site.  With the results of the "A Time to Build" campaign, the feedback from the Town Hall meeting, and a meeting with the Adult Sunday School classes earlier in November, the Horizon Team also made a recommendation for the revised scope of the first phase of the building project and the financing plan.  The result of the Town Hall meeting was to build a Discipleship building and preschool instead of a temporary worship space due to the inflation of building costs.
