Our ministers, Curt Anderson and Eldonna Hazen are the spiritual leaders at First Congregational Church. They plan and lead the worship services, meet with members and friends of the church to discuss spiritual questions and issues as well as plan and lead adult Christian Education offerings. The senior minister also serves as the chief administrative officer of the church and is responsible for the activities of the rest of the staff. Our associate minister works closely with our lay ministry team to bring the news and caring of our congregation to members who have mobility limitations due to illness, injury or the aging process.

Our program staff, Don DeBruin, Director of Music Ministries, and Jeff Rabe, Director of Christian Education for Children and Youth share their particular gifts throughout the life of the congregation. Music and Christian Education play important roles both on Sunday morning and during other church activities.

Our support staff, Suzanne Tremelling, Secretary and Administrator, Vern Mueller, Building Manager and Cindae Dignan, Bookkeeper provide support to the rest of the staff as well as members and friends of the congregation. They are responsible for communications, scheduling, upkeep of the church building and church financial affairs.

Our lay leadership makes up the Executive Council and various church boards and taskforces. The members of the congregation serving in these leadership roles make decisions on the congregation's behalf in between regular congregational meetings. The Moderator is the chief executive officer of the congregation and leads the monthly meetings of the Executive Council and acts on the Council's behalf in signing contracts and agreements. The Moderator, Moderator Elect and ministers meet on a regular basis to make plans and consider issues in the broader community that affect the congregation.
