Our Overseers are affirmed at each annual business meeting.  An Overseer (Intern) serves for one year prior to being affirmed by the congregation.

My wife, Sandy and I began attending Community church in 1998. We have been involved with small groups, super groups, hosting home fellowships, and greeting. We have one daughter, Erin, who is soon to be 29 and resides in Oceanside, CA and has no desire to return to winters or seasons in Wisconsin, so we'll just have to visit there, shucks.
