The Church Growth Committee has two areas of responsibility? witness and nurture. The members of the committee develop publicity, and printed materials that invite people to visit First Church, activities that welcome those who come to hear the Word and systems that connect them to God and the church family through involvement in classes, programs, projects and small groups.

Volunteers are recruited and trained for greeting worshipers every Sunday morning and for delivering a gift and information to first time visitors. Additional volunteers are organized for corresponding with and visiting our home bound church, notifying members of joys and concerns that call for prayer, and providing meals for families at funerals.
