Kirkwood’s mission is carried out by our members through the committees on which they serve. Kirkwood has eight committees, and each is essential to our development as Disciples of Christ. The committees that carry out our church functions are:

 

Administration Committee

The committee is responsible for church personnel matters, building use and other administrative concerns important to running the day-to-day operations of Kirkwood. It meets on the first Wednesday of every other month at 7:00 p.m.


Christian Education Committee

The Christian Education Committee's mission is to provide biblically based educational programs which help all ages come to know Christ through his teachings and help all ages grow in their faith.

We can do this by providing a spiritual and educational environment which:

  1. Is rooted in the Bible
  2. Helps build a closer relationship with God
  3. Nurtures the growth of Christian faith thru biblical studies
  4. Teaches Christian values
  5. Encourages the study of God's word

Our goal is to increase the participation of the youth and adults of Kirkwood in the Sunday School and youth programs.

The committee meets on the first Sunday of each month following the 10:30 a.m. worship service.

We are responsible for:

Kitchen Crew

The Kitchen Crew works in conjunction with other committees in hosting luncheons, dinners, receptions, etc. to encourage fellowship within the church family.  These events nurture and assist members of the congregation enabling them to grow as a church family and in their relationship with God through fellowship with one another.  All functions provide an opportunity for members to invite and encourage visitors and friends to join in fellowship with members of our congregation.


Outreach Committee

The Outreach Committee fulfills the message of Christ by looking after those in need. Its mission is "To reach out to those in need, sharing God's love through our works inspired by faith." Outreach is responsible for organizing a number of annual projects, some of which are exclusive to Kirkwood and some of which are part of a larger mission.

Outreach meets the second Sunday of each month immediately following the 10:30 a.m. worship service. You are encouraged to join us on our journey as we reach out to those in need within our world and share God's love.


Property Committee

The Property Committee reports to the Session and is made up of members from the congregation (membership is open with no limits).  The committee meets monthly, and is responsible for maintenance and improvements to the church building and property.  Committee responsibilities include addressing church property needs, organizing congregation spring and fall work days, committee work days, and lawn care.


Stewardship Committee

At Kirkwood, the Stewardship Committee handles the financial responsibilities. These responsibilities generally fall into two categories: day-to-day and yearly. The church treasurer handles most of the day-to-day finances of Kirkwood, such as paying bills and balancing the checkbook. In addition, several members of the committee, on a rotating basis, count the church offerings every week.

Our mission statement derives from 1 Peter 4:10: "Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received."

We attempt, with God's guidance and grace, to be good stewards of the gifts of Kirkwood. We meet at 7:00 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month in the Lower Fellowship Hall and invite anyone and everyone to join us in our service to Kirkwood and to Christ.


Worship Committee

The Worship Committee is the spiritual core of the Church. Our mission is to provide that Kirkwood Church has worship services that conform to the principles of the Reformed Christian Faith. As reflected in our Mission Statement, these worship services should gather us as a joyful, supportive family of faith, emphasize our relationship with God and fellow man, and send us out as disciples to proclaim, "Jesus is Lord."

The Worship Committee is responsible for:

We meet at 7:00 p.m. on the second Monday of every month in the Adult Seeker's Sunday School Classroom next to the church office. If you are interested in what our committee has to offer, please stop by during one of our meetings and say hello. You may even decide to stay for a while.
