| In the fall of 2008, the elders appointed a 5 person administrative team whose primary purpose is to see that the administrative tasks of the church are handled in an efficient and effective manner. A closely related purpose of the a-team is to allow the eldership freedom from the administrative issues so they can give their full attention to shepherding the flock.
The administrative team began to function on November 1, 2008. Examples of items the a-team has handled in the initial year of service are the renegotiation of the lease terms with the Plaid Giraffe Pre-School; comprehensive review of property insurance, workers comp insurance and health insurance for staff; managing the church office during the long term illness of the church secretary; working closely with finance committee to review, prepare and monitor the financial needs of the church, etc.
The current team members are Garrett Taylor, John Durling, Greg Spink, Frank McReynolds, chair and Dale Simpson. Dale and Bruce Moss rotate through the team every 6 months and report the activities to the full eldership.
Minutes of each a-team meeting are recorded and a copy is posted on the bulletin board outside the church office for anyone to review.
