Lay Leadership in 2020

One way that we fulfill the church’s mission to make disciples is through lay leadership. At FUMCWP, we recognize the important role that lay leaders have within the life of our church.

Commissioning 

On Jan. 12 we are commissioning the lay leaders who will be discerning the life of our church family in 2020. This year the commissioning will take place during the 11:00am service. Following the commissioning, our 2020 lay leaders will spend time in fellowship and learning of important church-wide initiatives. Be in prayer for our lay leaders and their families at the start of the new year.

Pillar Leaders 

At FUMCWP, we have four primary ministry categories that we call pillars. Each

pillar has a lay leader who serves as the Pillar Leader. The role of a Pillar Leader is to nurture and develop the ministries that fall within their pillar. We have two important Pillar Leader changes starting in 2020.

  • Gracious Hosts: Mia Thomas, who has served as the Gracious Hosts Pillar Leader 2018-2019, is transitioning to be the Board Chair of the Inua ministry for 2020. Stepping into the role of Gracious Hosts Pillar Leader is Arnetta Rodgers. Arnetta has been an active lay leader in ministries such as Hospitality, Forum, and Killarney Elementary School tutor most recently.
  • Lloyd Jaeger

    Christ-like Servants: Ben Howell, who has served as the Christ-like Servants Pillar Leader 2018-2019, is transitioning to be the Vice-Chair of Leadership Council for 2020. Stepping into the role of Christ-like Servants Pillar Leader is Lloyd Jaeger. Lloyd has been an active lay leader in ministries such as Inua and Family Ministry most recently.

We are grateful for the leadership that Mia, Arnetta, Ben, and Lloyd continue to provide our church.
