A new church is born!

/in , , /by

Our merged church is now Garden Community Church! The name was chosen in a ranked-choice vote of the congregation during our first annual meeting as a merged church Feb. 1.

The congregation also approved draft vision, values and mission statements; new Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation for the new church; a 2026 budget; and new officers, members of the new Leadership Council, committee chairs, and team leaders.

Revs. Rick King and Riz Prakasim are the moderators of Garden Community Church and Brian Knapp is vice moderator. Other officers are Jane Husman, clerk; Jym Hubbell, treasurer; and Patti Holmes, assistant treasurer.

At-large members of the Leadership Council are Yvonne Lewis, Judi Klotz, Lynne Meyer, Lynne Bradbury, Ruth DeYoe, Kim Spear, Janet Liliemark, and Sally Schroder.
