Leadership Committees

The Church Session provides overall leadership, and the pastor and staff manage the daily operations. The rest of the business of the Church is run by these committees. During the pandemic, committee meetings are held virtually. See the church calendar for dates and times.

The Foundation Board meets with the First National Bank of Omaha on a quarterly basis to review investment results.

We never get tired and we are always up for something new to try with all our PCCR friends. We work diligently to bring new faces to PCCR and we are the first to welcome new members and guests. We work to make the spiritual experience at PCCR a fabulous one for members and visitors alike.
