Ministry Descriptions
There are lots of things going on at Emmanuel. In order to keep track of everything and keep the lines of communication open, the vestry has established a structure of eight commissions. Except for a few ad-hoc committees created by the Vestry, all ministries and committees are assigned to one of the eight commissions. You can use the outline of organization presented here to explore the ministries available to you. Who knows, you might find something that interests you enough to cause you to inquire further.
