The Worship committee attends to the liturgical and sacramental rhythms of the church year, and collaborates with pastors and music staff to provide for the worshipping life of the congregation in all its aspects.

The Buildings and Grounds committee is all about stewardship. Colbert’s beautiful campus and woodsy grounds are both incredible gifts. As stewards of what we’ve been given, we want to use and care for them well. The Buildings and Grounds committee oversees regular maintenance of our property and buildings, including grounds clean up and mechanical repairs.

The Strategic Outlook committee looks at the church from 30,000 feet above ground. This distant view helps us see the existing symbiotic relationship among all committees and groups and the impact they have on CPC and the greater Colbert community. Our work includes nominating elders, deacons, and Endowment Fund committee members.

The Stewardship and Finance committee oversees the church treasury, and counsels the Session with recommendations about how to best steward our financial resources.  The committee welcomes members to help analyze financial statements, seek stewardship opportunities for our congregation, and prepare information for Session presentations. 

The mission of the Adult Ministry Team is to promote activities that will equip people in our congregation to the work that God has ordained for them to do. We promote educational activities, Bible Studies, and small group activities for the adults in our community.

Personnel oversees and cares for the staff, participates in hiring processes, and ensures the safety and well-being of our staff and congregation through alignment with the church’s personnel handbook and stated operating procedures.

This team nurtures the missional outreach of our congregation, while also encouraging the congregation toward adopting missional lifestyles. The Mission and Social Justice committee partners with local non-profits both financially and relationally to invite the congregation into biblically-robust postures of love of neighbor, care of the poor, and hospitality.

Children’s Ministry looks after the care of our youngest saints, helping them grow and learn about the love of Christ. This committee partners with the Directory of Children’s Ministry to select curriculum, plan events, and invest in the spiritual formation of our children.

Students in grades 6-12 come under the care of Colbert’s Youth Ministry. The Youth Ministry Elder represents these students and the ministry's leadership during meetings of the Session, and supports the Director of Youth Ministry throughout the year.

The Fellowship Committee meets quarterly to plan congregational and intergenerational events, and to consider pathways for deeper fellowship within our congregation. This team provides the always-popular donuts and coffee on Sunday mornings, and helps maintain the communal kitchen.

The elder for Caregiving oversees our Deacons team. The Deacons each care for a “flock” of congregants, writing them seasonal notes, checking in about prayer requests, and providing extra care as needed situationally. If you would like to know about the deacon ministry or would like to come under the care of a deacon, please contact the church office, (509) 468-9923.

The Clerk of Session records the minutes at every Session and business meeting of the congregation, and is our clerical liaison with Presbytery.
