Ministry Teams
We encourage all members to serve in our communities, helping our lives and the lives of our neighbors flourish.
Arts Team
Facilitator: Steve Staats
Lanesville is a neighborhood with a rich history in the arts, going all the way back to Walker Hancock and Charles Grafly. Lanesville Congregational welcomes and encourages the creation and inclusion of art and the participation of artists in our worship and life together.
Whether Bruce Herman’s Portraits of Our Redemption: The Lanesville Mural Cycle, our Easter panels, panel discussions with local artists, our Pillar Room series of short-term exhibits at the church to display the creative gifts of our community, or original music composed and then offered in Sunday worship, we are always looking for ways to stir up the gifts God has given us in praise to God and as inspiration for one another.
Communications Team
Facilitator: Glenn Deckert
Our Communications team is the people at Lanesville who continue to improve and maintain our conversation with our neighborhood and each other. We meet semi-regularly to make sure we are communicating creatively and with excellence. This includes not just digital but also physical communication.
We’re always looking for a few good people willing to strategize and implement better ideas; we’d love to have you come aboard! Contact us if you’re interested!
Hospitality Team
Facilitator: Jennifer Lyon
Our hospitality team is all those in the church that help make Lanesville a welcoming place! Whether it’s providing a space around coffee and snacks for everyone or facilitating our monthly potlucks, people on our hospitality team really care about creating spaces to experience love.
The hospitality team also helps organize Take-Them-A-Meals for families in a crunch, or just inviting others into their homes to share life together. The hospitality team is always looking for more gifted individuals to serve!
Mercy Team
Facilitator: Deborah Schwendimen
Here at Lanesville we feel called to make movements of generosity in our lives. There is great joy found in giving generously and helping others as we do so. We believe we should continually be reprioritizing our lives to offer more. All of our giving isn’t to the local church but how we engage to transform our community and address the broad aspects of Christ’s kingdom on earth.
One of the directions God gives his local church is to serve the orphan, widow, and stranger, which symbolizes those with the most amount of needs in our community. The Deacons offer practical help to those in need in a number of ways: connecting with available resources, assisting with counseling, helping with budgeting, providing emotional and spiritual support, and extending financial aid. The Deacons distribute these charitable contributions from the church for those in need, irrespective of class or status.
We are always looking for more people with a passion to help serve the least of these. If you yourself may be in need of assistance, please contact us.

Worship Team
Facilitator: Carrie Martin
Lanesville is a contact church, not a spectator one. Our worship together as a community isn’t just about the pastors, leaders, or some uniquely gifted musicians serving us. At Lanesville, everyone serves everyone.
There are all kinds of opportunities to serve on Sundays — leading in the call to worship or prayer, greeting people in the morning, joining our worship band, running the livestream, volunteering in the nursery/junior church, or prepping the coffee, we worship as the church.
