Our staff gives support to our congregation in many ways.
Martha Clinehens serves as our Minister of Music and the principal organist for our traditional Lutheran liturgical worship service. A life-long Lutheran, Martha grew up in a very musical home in central Minnesota. While nursing was her profession, music has always been her passion. A church musician since childhood, she has extensive experience leading congregational worship. We recently welcomed Lynn Rhyhard to join our staff as an additional organist. Our church choir offers special music approximately twice a month.
The Worship and Praise Team leads our congregational singing each Sunday and they are joined by talented instrumentalists Matthew Gilliland on the piano and Abigael Carpenter on the violin. We praise God through a wide variety of musical styles including gospel, contemporary, instrumental and hymns. We welcome all musicians who wish to share and improve their gifts over time while we lift our praise to the glory of God!
Denise Van Dyke is our part time church secretary. Her office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 am to Noon.
Our church council is elected by the congregation and given responsibility to make business decisions and provide servant leadership to the church body.
Our accounting is done by Brewer's Bookkeeping & Payroll Services.
Alex is our custodian.
We appreciate our staff so much! In addition to our staff, our church is primarily run by the services of many volunteers.
