Elected by the congregation, we serve our community with a ministry of care.
Through acts of mercy, service and compassion, we focus on the spiritual and practical needs of our Church members and community.
​
Jan - I have been a member of WPPC for over 30 years and have served as an Elder and a Deacon. I love serving our congregation in any way I can and love teaching both adult and kids Sunday school. I love golf, gardening, walking and spending time with our 4 grandchildren.
​
Grace - I moved here 7 years ago to be with family. I love working weekly with Judy, helping with the running the clothing drive at St John United Methodist Church. I love zoo walking and playing Minecraft with my grandson (and my cat).
​
Alan - I have been a member of WPPC since turning 18 years old. I have served as an Elder and a Deacon and been on multiple committees over the years. I have been married for almost 50 years to Debbie and love being with our kids and grandkids,
​
Elizabeth - After leaving WPPC as a teen, I returned in 2011 and stayed because of the support I received during my parents’ final years. I love our extended church family, singing in the choir, banner painting and helping run “Gordon’s Little Free Pantry”.
