Our Mission Statement:
As stewards of the First Presbyterian Church of Harbor Springs, the Building and Grounds Team upholds and preserves the church and grounds to illuminate the power of God’s love.

Our Vision Statement:
The church and grounds, a special gift from God and a shining landmark in our community, are a beautiful, welcoming and safe Harbor for all of God’s children. The Building and Grounds Team creates and maintains an atmosphere within the church and on the grounds that fosters a good and loving community by maintaining the foundation that supports the Church’s mission.

Our Activities and Programs:
Building and Grounds works to maintain and enhance the building, inside and out, and the grounds, including the parking lot and entrance. This involves inspection, general carpentry, electrical and mechanical work, painting and cleaning, storage and repair, etc.

On the grounds, our tasks include keeping our landscaping maintained by trimming trees, preparing ground for plantings, weeding, etc., plus the parking lot and entrance to the building.

When we need tools, supplies or expertise beyond what we have on the Team, we work with other church and community volunteers, local retailers, and other organizations. We strive to demonstrate and support the Church’s Mission in all our work and relationships.

Meetings:
Beginning in 2009, the Team will gather every-other-month for a meeting to assure coordination, communication, and cooperation. On the “off month” we provide status reports to each other via email. Our meetings are scheduled for the second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.

Charge and Focus:
Our slogan is “The ‘Getter Done’ Team.” And we do! We have fun, share a lot, laugh often, meet new people, and get a great deal done. We work to support FPCHS, other teams, their members, and the community.
