Property Ministry

The Property Committee of Clemmons Presbyterian Church is a group of people who are responsible for maintaining the buildings and the grounds of the church complex. The primary work is in maintenance of the already existing structures and landscaping. Occasionally the committee is asked to accomplish projects that add new items and features to the complex.

The Grounds & Garden Committee operates under the leadership of Joyce Glass to take care of the outside landscaping.

Other members of the Property Committee maintain the buildings and sheds of the complex. When necessary, we call in craftsmen with special skills to maintain and repair our equipment and structures. When possible, we prefer to work on the property ourselves. All of the skills necessary to maintain a home are useful on the committee. Cleaning, painting, plumbing, electrical work, roofing, and carpentry are just some of the skills valued on the committee. Sometimes, knowledge of “how to” is as important as the actual manual labor.

The Property Committee has formal meetings rarely, preferring to spend our time in work sessions when tasks requiring multiple people get added to our “to do” list.  In a lot of cases, tasks require one or two people with special knowledge or skill.  In those cases, they are drafted from our list of volunteers.  People who wish to contribute their time and skills to upkeep of the church buildings and property may call the church office at 766-4631 or contact Tony Stovall by email at  or by phone at 766-7652.

Clemmons Presbyterian Church Memorial Garden Columbarium: 

Purpose:

The Columbarium of Clemmons Presbyterian Church provides a special place at the church for the inurnment of ashes of eligible deceased. The Memorial Garden provides Tablets for plaques in memory of those interred elsewhere.

What is a Columbarium?

Our Columbarium is a structure provided for the placement of the ashes of the deceased. Ashes are placed in niches or compartments within the columbarium and are marked with a memorial plaque.

Inurnment and Eligibility:

Only sealed containers holding cremated human remains shall be placed in the Columbarium niches. Two persons maximum may be inurned in one niche. The Columbarium is restricted to the inurnment of members of The Church, present and former ministers of The Church, and their immediate families. Immediate family includes single member, the spouse of a member, parents, children, spouses of children, grandchildren, and spouses of grandchildren. No inurnment may be made prior to executing a Right of Inurnment agreement with Clemmons Presbyterian Church.

Grounds and Garden Committee:

The Grounds & Garden Committee is a group of women and men who work together to keep our landscape clean, neat, and beautified.

The Grounds section continue to do the heavier landscaping such as mulching, laying pine needles, hauling soil when necessary, and helping to groom hedges and trees.

The Garden section helps plant, clean beds, weed, and water.  Our efforts include maintaining the Memorial Garden Columbarium.

Anyone interested in working primarily outdoors at CPC on the Grounds & Garden Committee can contact the church office at 766-4631 or Joyce Glass at 766-0067.

The committee meets at least twice a year: early March and early September.
