Staff & Committees

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

                                                                            – Mark 10:45

Lay Committees

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

                                                                                                                           – Hebrews 6:10 
For a church to function effectively and efficiently it requires the members of the congregation to give of their time, talents and spiritual gifts. Hamilton UMC is blessed to have excellent leadership that works together for the good of the church and the glory of God. The following is a brief explanation of the responsibilities of each committee and their respective leaders. If you have an interest in joining or contributing to any particular group please contact the head of that committee.

​While HUMC is involved in a wide variety of missional outreach, it is the Missions Committee responsibility to develop new ideas to connect the congregation with the unchurched. This is accomplished by having various adult and youth activities throughout the year that invite the local community into the church as well as the congregation representing the church in area events.
