Committee Members
Past and Present

The Church and Cemetery have been managed by a committee of volunteers since its construction. The original members were people who farmed in the area served by the Church and include families well known in the history of the Gore.

The Gore is no longer the farming community it once was, but the tradition of volunteers remains. Day to day affairs are still managed by a committee, many of whom are descendants of the original members. Other members of the community step in to help with annual work bees and cleanups, as well as support the Church and Cemetery with their financial donations. Listed below are past and current members of the management committee.
