STAFF PARISH RELATIONS COMMITTEE (SPRC)
Chair: Dayton Elseth
The SPRC's mission is to provide oversight of NHFUMC staff, secure replacements for any vacancies which occur, recommend for the consideration of the Church Council any needed additions or deletions to the staff and other staff-related decisions in keeping with the mission and ministry of the NHFUMC.
The most important function of the SPRC members is to serve as liaison between the church congregation and staff. Each member, in carrying out this mission, must listen to all thoughts and concerns of the Congregation; provide thoughtful, prayerful consideration and suggest appropriate resolution for each problem and concern presented.
The SPRC meets the first Thursday of each month (as needed) at 7:00 PM.
Congregation members are encouraged to talk with any SPRC member individually.
