Parent
Action Council (PAC)
Parent Action Council is a group of parents
representing each age level of junior high and high school students.
They meet monthly to help support the youth program through planning
events, organizing parent volunteers, and offering parent perspectives
on the effectiveness of programs. Each year they plan events
such as fundraiser for mission trips, confirmation breakfast, youth
parent gatherings, snack suppers, senior banquet, volunteer appreciation
and Sunday school assistance. You can volunteer to serve on PAC
as a year long commitment in a term running from June - May following
the school year. All PAC meetings are open for any youth parent
to attend and minutes of each meeting are e-mailed to all parents.
