Glen Cary Ministry Teams

Glen Cary has several standing Ministry Teams, and many ad-hoc teams that support and enable the mission of our church. Standing teams have members elected by the congregation or appointed by the Council; ad-hoc teams generally are made up of volunteers interested in sharing their gifts for a particular program or project. The teams and ministries are diverse, so there are always opportunities for members to put their interests and talents to good use!

Library Team

The team consists of several dedicated volunteers who help choose and process books, but are always looking for more team members. Members also assist on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings to help people in their selection of reading material. At the present time, Glen Cary library has approximately 2000 books, including Biblical reference books, several translations of the Bible, Christian novels and lots of books for children and youth by well known authors. Recently a number of children's videos were added to the library including several "McGee and Me" real life family adventures that bring Biblical values to the home. Most of the library material is logged into a computerized system to make finding a book easier. See what's new in the Glen Cary library.

Leadership Development Committee

The Leadership Development Committee is responsible for identifying qualified members to serve on the Council, standing committees, and committees specificall defined in the Continuing Resolutions of Glen Cary Lutheran Church.

Mission Team

The Mission team at Glen Cary serves the congregation by identifying opportunities to declare/spread/tell/share the gospel message/good news of Jesus Christ everywhere. The team members select projects that emphasize evangelism. The projects are next door and around the globe. Locally, we support New Life Lutheran Church, an ELCA mission congregation in Oak Grove, through the ELCA Partners in Mission program. We have raised monies to build a new Lutheran Church in the African country of Malawi. We are part of a multi-congregational group that supports an international missionary team. In addition, we support the work of the Lutheran World Relief, Global Health Ministries, and Equal Exchange marketing. The third Sunday of each month the team hosts a "Trade Bazaar" where Equal Exchange coffee, tea, cocoa, chocolate and other food items are offered for sale. We are also committed to recognizing, supporting and encouraging the mission work done by other groups within the Glen Cary congregation.

The Mission team has recently created a special area to host their information.

Disabilities Ministry Team

The Disabilities Ministry Team serves Glen Cary and the community by identifying, educating about, and advocating for awareness and accomodations to allow and encourage those with disabilities to fully participate in the worship life at Glen Cary.
