A Church can’t function without its Groups and Committees to carry on the work of the Church. Select a group from the list to see more information about it.

Ministry and Personal

The M&P Committee is a confidential, consultative body that supports the pastoral relationship. We oversee the pastoral charge ministry, particularly in the roles and functions of paid and volunteer leaders. We play a supportive role while at the same time carry out supervisory functions. M&P members will provide a consultative, confidential and supportive agency for the staff and members/adherents of Clinton United Church.
Please feel free to contact a member of M&P Committee anytime.

Trustees

All property that is held in trust or acquired for the use of a congregation or pastoral charge shall be held and administered by the board of Trustees. This body is appointed by or on behalf of the congregation, within terms that are set forth in the Trusts of Model Deed (appendix II of the Manual). Note that this function is distinct from day-to-day church management functions and specifically involves those matters related to investments, capital indebtedness, major renovation or capital improvements, property acquisition and adequate insurance.

Outreach

The purpose of this committee is to facilitate the congregation's involvement in Christian Outreach and Environment. It is important: that the work of the Outreach Committee not become the mission of the committee alone, but always be carried out in conjunction with the support and on behalf of the wider congregation. In addition to mission interpretation or education, the committee needs to report regularly to the congregation about its work. In order to respond best to requests from both within and outside the church, committee members need to he aware about what the United Church M&S Fund is already doing.

Pastoral Care

Purpose is to co-ordinate visitation as deemed appropriate, oversee the care of the needy and visiting the sick, keep the roll of the church to include the records of members, children and adherents, the register of baptism, marriage and burials and the provision of up-to-date visitation lists.

CHURCH BOARD

Each group (committee/organization/representative) will have two designates to the Official Board. To start that will be one from each former church. The hope is to have better and more consistent representation on the official board from each group without making the size of the board so big that meetings get too hard to manage. One of the chief advantages of this model is that it is very scalable and so can handle a greater number of people but still remain effective. This is what we hope to accomplish in the years ahead.
