Bayside's Ministries
 

 
Welcome to Bayside's Property Ministry
God can be glorified in many ways, some that bring special attention and others that take place "behind the scenes". It is this "behind the scenes" work which allows the many activities of Christian life to take place at Bayside Presbyterian Church in a clean, safe and friendly atmosphere. By doing its job properly, the Property Ministry insures that we can worship, work and witness in a Church home that speaks of caring, loving followers of Christ. Our job is to set the rest of the congregation free to be "doers of the Word". 

It is the responsibility of the Property Ministry to oversee the maintenance and repair of all Church properties through: 

  • Making recommendations to the Administrative Support Ministry regarding the work of the Sexton and other custodial staff 
  • Maintaining all Church properties 
  • Overseeing necessary repairs to Church properties. Making recommendations to the Session regarding major repair or improvements to Church property 
These general responsibilities break down into a multitude of activities performed, contracted out, done by employees, or taken care of on a volunteer basis by the ministry members or with the aid of members of the congregation. Everything from clean floors, roof maintenance, windows that don't leak, trash removal, keeping lights on and furnace and air conditioner in good working order, grounds maintenance (including seeding, fertilizing, mulching, weed control, weekly cutting, pruning trees and shrubs, and sprinkler system maintenance), exterminating unwanted critters, providing cleaning supplies and material for custodial staff, maintaining all furnishings such as tables, chairs, pews, office furniture and kitchen equipment, parking lot maintenance, fire and safety maintenance, providing appropriate insurance on the entire property and building - AND CHANGING LIGHT BULBS -are just some of the tasks required to keep our 64,000 square feet of building and 5+ acres of grounds in the best condition possible. 
Herb Gordon is Moderator of the Property Ministry. Other members are Michael Hayes and Thom Sare.
If you see anything "not quite right" on the grounds or in the Church Building, please feel free to contact any of us by leaving a note in the Property Ministry box in the Church Office and we will take care of it as quickly as possible. If you would like to join this Ministry, the monthly meeting is the Thursday evening before the monthly Planning and Coordinating Team meeting at 7 PM. Everyone is welcome.
