Welcome
to the many groups and committees at the Gilead Church. Most have regular
meeting times, but some only meet occasionally. Each group is listed below
along with the next time it is scheduled to meet. If you click on the group
name, you will advance down the page to learn a little bit about the group.
(Some groups have their own pages, so you may leave here and jump to their
page instead.)
Each group's annual report, the minutes from the latest council meeting, and the minutes from the annual meeting are also available here. They are external documents that will open up in a different window. You can open them here to view/print, or you can save them locally to read later.
