Outreach Ministries

Distinct from parish ministries of a liturgical nature, administration, or personal pastoral care, Outreach Ministries seek to strengthen those already within the Church, to reach out to those beyond the Church and those who have lapsed from their commitment to the Church. Our goal is for all our parishioners to partake and participate in the Lord's ministry through our various programs described below.

Outreach Ministries Committee

The Outreach Ministries Committee is a group of parishioners appointed by and working with the Parish Priest for

the development of ministry programming;
oversight of current programs, groups and activites for integration of efforts, schedule coordination, resource procurement and parish-wide communications;
and for assisting in the strategic planning of the Parish.

For examples of our 2017 Outreach Ministries please click Saint Demetrios Outreach Ministries: A Year in Review to read.

The Outreach Ministries Committee consists of the following ministry positions (bold and underlined). In addition to other responsibilities, several committee members oversee, assist and facilitate the work of other ministry leaders throughout the Parish. These additional leaders are indented.
