Task force and subcommittee development

As of August of 2024 our team solidified two subcommittees and three task forces. Subcommittees will carry on a certain initiative that does not have a foreseen time of conclusion. Task forces will aim to accomplish a given task with the group dissolving upon completion. The groups are:

  • Children’s Ministry Subcommittee
  • Communications Subcommittee
  • Mission Statement and Messaging Task Force
  • New Minister Training Packet Task Force
  • Ministry Health and Retention Task Force

The Team

The Youth and Family Service Team desires to aid and support all the congregations of the ICOC in whatever way we can. Our aim and desire is that members of this team are marked by their humility and ability to work well as a team and with our fellowship’s other service teams.

  • Audie & Bethany Monday, Chairmen – Philadelphia (ACR)
  • Mike & Kristen Lamb – Boston (New England)
  • Ross and Manami Lippencott – New York (New York)
  • Nick & Brianne Shoff – Atlanta (MidSouth)
  • Melissa Tulloch – Atlanta (MidSouth)
  • Randy & Kim Ware – Kansas City (Heartland)

We want to help build bridges across the generations and across the various ministries that we have. We pray that our service is a blessing to all and an honor to our God!
