We have shut-ins and elderly that are forced to stay home and watch live streams or listen to the radio broadcast because of health problems.

This council consists of a President, three Deacons (assist the Pastor), three trustees, a treasurer, and a secretary. Our Sunday school program takes place before the worship service and goes from September to May.
