While Centenary is a large church with many diverse and meaningful ministries, it has but one vision: to Enlist, Equip and Deploy the people of God to do the work of Jesus Christ in our church, our community and the world. It is this vision that unites the church in Christian community.

The Council on Ministries is designed to bring church leadership together in order to realize this vision.

COM leadership works closely with the administrative committees of the church to ensure ministry needs are considered in all facets of church life. Both, administrative committees and the Council on Ministries are accountable to the Church Council.

The work of the Council on Ministries is to:

Provide visionary leadership
Establish annual priorities, goals and objectives
Create annual operational budgets that support ministry priorities
Facilitate and support the implementation of ministry objectives
Support and foster new ministries
Act as a sounding board for ideas and concerns
Explore pressing questions or issues facing ministry teams and the church
Seek how to best enlist, equip and deploy the people of God to be the hands and feet of Christ in our church, community and world
Establish evaluation practices that strengthen ministry teams, and create a stronger church
