Buildings and Grounds
Mission Statement
The mission of the Buildings and Grounds Ministry at Northminster is to honor the trust that God and the congregation have placed in the committee members to maintain the buildings in good repair and keep the grounds aesthetically pleasing. Committee members work to provide the congregation with a safe and beautiful place to worship and the Great Northwest community with a peaceful location where they might rest and contemplate the nearness of God.
What we do
The Buildings and Grounds committee is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the church's property. The committee also maintains the outdoor grounds, including the Chapel in the Woods and parking lot.
Responsibilities
In an effort to minimize costs, the committee members use internal resources and the wealth of talent within the Northminster congregation to complete many of the jobs that are within their capabilities. These include painting, fixing windows, walls and doors, planting, weeding and mulching, cleaning, and minor plumbing. For work that is outside their expertise, they actively seek quotes from licensed electricians, plumbers and contractors.
Volunteering
The Buildings and Grounds committee is always looking for extra hands to help with our ongoing mission. Any time and skills you can give will be greatly appreciated. There are several projects that require ongoing attention. If you would like to volunteer, please approach one of committee members, call the church office or visit our Serve page.
Monthly work days
Buildings and Grounds Committee members organize “Church Work Days” on the third Saturday of each month. The goal is to encourage volunteers to donate 2-4 hours of their time on the given Saturday to tackle seasonal projects. Church work days are an easy and essential way to give back to the Northminster family. Please look for upcoming church work days in the weekly bulletin and the News and Events page.

Meeting times
If this interests you, plan on attending the next schedule committee meeting. The Buildings and Grounds committee normally meets the first Sunday of the month immediately following the worship service. Committee members review to-do lists, set priorities, plan events like the monthly church work day, investigate costs, etc. They meet with electricians, plumbers and contractors when necessary work is beyond their expertise. Come join the committee and share your ideas, or simply come and enjoy the company.
