Vicky Martinez - Pastor

The SPRC Committee acts as the personnel committee, serving as a liaison between the congregation and staff to support ministry, evaluate performance, and manage HR functions.

Core Responsibilities

• Personnel Administration: develops personnel policies, handles hiring, contracting, and dismissal of lay employees, and establishes compensation packages (salary, benefits, housing) in consultation with the pastor and Church Council.
• Liaison Duties: fosters open communication between staff and the congregation, and consults with the District Superintendent regarding pastoral changes.
• Strategic Planning: works to align staff roles with the church's mission and vision, often focusing on developing specific skills and competencies for positions.
