Commissions of the Panther Valley Ecumenical Church

Support Services | Christian Education | Christian Outreach | Church Growth and Fellowship | Worship

In order to implement the Covenant through the Council there will be five commissions responsible to the Council. These will be autonomous within the parameters delineated by these By-Laws. They will report their activities monthly to the Council and must seek its prior approval for any activity not clearly permitted by these By-Laws.

Each commission will conduct the activities assigned to it and will not become involved in those assigned to other commissions except in support by express agreement between the Council and commissions involved. Each commission will estimate its necessary expenses for the coming year and submit its budget to the Council by August 31.

Each commission will monitor its expenditures so as to stay within the budgeted amount. The commissions shall meet on a regular basis and annually submit to the congregation an evaluation of its work.

Each commission should be comprised of approximately six members including the following: A chairperson, a secretary, and members at large. The Minister is an ex-officio member of all commissions. The members will be nominated by the Nominating Committee or by the congregation at the Annual Congregational Meeting. They will be elected annually by the congregation during the Annual Congregational Meeting. If there is a vacancy on a Commission it will be filled by the Nominating Committee until a permanent replacement can be elected at the next Annual Congregational Meeting.

The chair of the commission who is also a member of the Council carries the responsibility of reporting to the Council the activities of the commission. The chair shall also report back to his/her commission the activities being carried on by other commissions and the Council. Commissions are encouraged to obtain feedback from the Congregation concerning programs or activities carried out by the Commissions, and Commissions are encouraged to utilize the talents of as many members of the congregation as possible by establishing “short term” assignments outside of the “regular” membership of the Commission.  

Listed below are the Commissions at PVEC.
