Our church archives serves as a repository for the official records and historical materials that document the heritage of our church and school. Our archives include manuscripts, church records, school records, photographs, oral histories, audiovisual materials, organization minutes, newsletters, bulletins, property records, minutes of church meetings, church council minutes, membership records, financial records, attendance records, committee files and reports, slides, newsletters, publications, newspaper articles and architectural drawings. 

The establishment of a church archives serves several purposes and functions. Legal documents may be preserved in the church archives and provide needed information. Vital statistical records (membership, baptismal and marriage) are often referred to by persons needing proof of birth dates for retirement and pension purposes. Archival files provide useful data to church leaders on past promotional activities and events and assist them in evaluating future programs and methods. These records may help to avoid mistakes of earlier years. Specific information on church policies and statements can be located in the archival holdings.
