Ministries at Holy Family
Ministry | Chair | Description |
|---|---|---|
Administration | Bob Wheeler
| This ministry is the "hands-on" arm of the Vestry (the elected governing body for the parish). It meets once each week and at other times as necessary. |
Buildings and Ground | Pete Cook (Nick Munson) | The management of Holy Family's facilities is supervised by two superintendents. This ministry handles anything related to the operation, maintenance, buildings, and the campus grounds. |
Christian Education | Joyce Faircloth (Leamarie True) | Christian Education looks for ways to help parishioners explore and deepen their faith, and develop and use their gifts for ministry and outreach. |
Communications | Jeanette Buffalo (Diane Wells) | The Communication Ministry informs Holy Family members and the community of parish news and activities. It manages the web site, sponsors a bi-monthly publication called Family Notes, and solicits newsworthy articles. |
Finance | Ed Mulkey (Steve Simmons) | The Finance Ministry plays the role of steward for parish assets, income, and financial obligations. It nominates a qualified treasurer, recommends budget allocations to the Vestry, prepares the annual operating budget, oversees the parish endowment program, and provides quarterly contribution statements to parishioners. The team meets monthly. |
Hospitality | Open (Kitty Jones) | From the Sunday coffee hour to receptions and parish dinners, the Hospitality Ministry is involved in most of the social activities occurring at the church. |
Music | Brandon Beachamp
| Holy Family has a growing music program. An adult choir of about twenty-five members sings at the 10:30 service and supports the liturgy. Periodically, the Judy Sanger/Linda Vickery bell choir also performs. This ministry also sponsors The Community Concert Series. |
Outreach | Brenda Farr (Don Ellis) | The Outreach Ministry at Holy Family has been a supporter and leader in both establishing and nurturing ministries, projects, and Pickens County programs that enhance the quality of life for area residents. |
Pastoral Care Ministry | Carolyn Wheeler (Patricia Tyson) | This ministry’s team, among the newest at Holy Family, extends the pastoral reach of the priest by taking seriously an understanding that all Christians are to be ministers. The team assists the clergy in providing pastoral care in times of sickness and emergencies. It also organizes a “Casserole Patrol” that provides meals to parishioners during challenging life situations. |
Stewardship Ministry | Open (Lee Buffalo) | This ministry is charged with helping parishioners become more aware that God calls His disciples to be faithful stewards in all areas of life all year long, not just during the annual pledge campaign. It develops programs that focus on the spiritual core of stewardship. |
Worship Ministry | Joyce Dewey (Marie Mulkey) | The Worship Ministry meets monthly with the rector and representatives from other related ministries to plan the worship services conducted at Holy Family. |
