Ministry and Personal
The M&P Committee is a confidential, consultative body that supports the pastoral relationship. We oversee the pastoral charge ministry, particularly in the roles and functions of paid and volunteer leaders. We play a supportive role while at the same time carry out supervisory functions.
M&P members will provide a consultative, confidential and supportive agency for the staff and members/adherents of Clinton United Church.
Please feel free to contact a member of M&P committee anytime.

It is important: that the work of the Outreach Committee not become the mission of the committee alone, but always be carried out in conjunction with the support and on behalf of the wider congregation. In addition to mission interpretation or education, the committee needs to report regularly to the congregation about its work. In order to respond best to requests from both within and outside the church, committee members need to he aware about what the United Church M&S Fund is already doing.
