Fauntleroy Church is a community of individuals who worship, discuss, decide, and work together to serve God and neighbor in our time and place. In the process, we meet strangers who befriend us, mentors who guide us, and people who inspire us toward extraordinary things. We have many ways to connect, get involved, and “be church.” To explore any of them in detail, contact Volunteer and Engagement Coordinator, Sarah or the church office.
Ministries at a Glance
The work of the church is done through five ministries that are responsible for initiating, guiding, and evaluating the many expressions of our common life. Woven through each ministry are our strong commitment to serving others through special projects and our support for the work of nonprofit agencies aligned with our mission.
Worship
Whether on Sunday morning, at special times of year, or when we gather to celebrate or memorialize, worship is at our core. No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you will find a welcoming community where worship stimulates and challenges, involves and includes, heals and re-energizes for service.
Christian Education
This ministry provides creative, engaging, and challenging experiences to help preschoolers through elders explore ancient and contemporary facets of living our faith out loud on the path that Jesus defined. Find details here about our Sunday school, youth activities, and adult education programs; contact Associate Pastor Karyn Frazier or the church office with specific questions.
Facilities Ministry
Responsibilities of this ministry include caring for our building, grounds, equipment, and parsonage. It develops and manages an annual spending plan, selects and oversees contractors, leads special projects, and organizes volunteer work parties when many hands can make light work. Serving on this ministry offers numerous opportunities to put coordination and fix-it skills to use, ensuring that facilities enable our mission and that they are efficient, safe, and accessible environments for all who use them.
Finance Ministry
This ministry manages the finances of the church, including annual spending plans, capital funds, and investments. It makes sure that planning for expenditures is realistic, that giving is convenient, and that funds are responsibly spent. Those serving on this ministry coordinate with all facets of church life on financial matters and oversee the work of financial staff members.
Parish Life
Activities that enhance our common life are the focus of this ministry. You will see its work in how we welcome visitors, in our social groups and intergenerational activities, and in events we host for the wider community. Caring Ministry is a subcommittee of Parish Life that keeps in touch with those experiencing a time of need.
