Communication

Chair: Lori Schussler

 

Communicates to Church Family and beyond of activities and events by LHUMC or supported by LHUMC; always proclaiming the Good News and inviting all to a relationship with Christ.

We believe this leadership structure simplifies the LHUMC organizational structure, reduces the number of major committees, provides a clearer understanding of where/who to go to with ideas/concerns and ensures that all are working toward the LHUMC mission and vision statements; Guided by God’s Word and empowered by the Holy Spirit, LHUMC through its ministries will share God’s message with today’s world. And through the power of Jesus Christ, we will make disciples who make disciples by welcoming all, growing together, and making a difference.
We value everyone in our community of faith and invite anyone to reach out to these teams with ideas, concerns, or to get involved in the growth and support of this Body of Christ.
