Committees

One of many beautiful banners made by the Sanctuary Guild
Members serving Newtonbrook United Church on committees come from all walks of life and all professions. They are united in their dedication and passion to strengthen and enrich the church. They have felt a calling to serve in this way, which has been affirmed by others.
Those who serve on committees are:
• skilled or experienced in the particular focus area of the committee
• willing to discern God's vision for this work
• passionately committed to the mission of Newtonbrook United Church
• able to collaborate and work as a team
• sensitive to diversity issues

Anyone in the congregation is eligible to serve on church committees. Membership is a requirement to serve as a committee chair.
