What is the Pastor-Staff Relations Committee?
The Pastor-Staff Relations Committee is a group of church members who function as a bridge between members of our staff and members of our congregation. Our purpose is to provide support, appreciation, and encouragement to every one of our staff members. Each committee member is the liaison to specific staff members and seeks to build trusting, collaborative relationships with them through regular contact to support and encourage them in their area of ministry.
If needed, the staff person has a PSRC member they already know and trust to discuss challenges in their work responsibilities, with another staff member, or with members of the congregation. The PSRC may also be asked to share suggestions or concerns brought by church members with individual staff members in a way that is constructive and collaborative. All matters are addressed promptly and confidentially.
The committee advises the Leadership Team on HR policies, maintains the Staff Handbook, and works with the Financial Management Team on employee benefits. The PSRC also invites church members to contribute to the Staff Appreciation Gift during the holidays and determines the distribution of the money collected.
The committee consists of Pastor Jeff Root as our Head of Staff, Church Vice Chair Will Casey, and three elected members: Paul Bischoff, Bunny Mirrilees, and Chair Jana Goetz.

MISSIONS FOCUS
Missions Focus
Prayer Support for Summer Camps
Summertime holds potential for fun and meaningful camp experiences for children, youth, leaders, and volunteers alike. From Covenant Camps in the Midwest, with members of our church family and others attending and serving, to Akagi Bible Camp in the mountains of central Japan, where our ministry partners Jim and Hydi are involved, camps are places where our lives may be enriched together. Let’s remember in prayer these summer camps and all those participating.
More specifically, in a recent message from Beth Fredrickson of Harbor Point Ministries she invites us to pray for the year-round and summer staff who will be ministering to children, youth, and families this summer. In signing up as Prayer Partners we will be offered a weekly newsletter with updates and prayer prompts. Camp posts on Instagram and Facebook may be followed as well. Summer Camp 2023 Prayer Partners may sign up here. Jim and Hydi invite us to pray as well for another great camping season at Akagi Bible Camp.
