Commissions

Parishioners at Church of Our Saviour are involved in all aspects of running the church. We care for our congregation through commissions or committees, which oversee various aspects of day-to-day management. All play a part in keeping the church a vibrant place for worship, renewal and community. Every member of the parish is invited to help with these vital activities. For more information about volunteering to serve on a commission, please contact the office at 434.973.6512.
