//Mission Statement//
The mission of this ministry shall be to unite, in Christian fellowship, those who share an interest in capturing the beauty of God's creation through the art of photography and to provide educational opportunities to promote and encourage the advancement of its members in the knowledge and practice of photography.

//Meeting Format//
Each meeting will feature an instructive or illustrated presentation on some aspect of photography and/or a hands-on photo shoot to give participants the opportunity to practice their skills. Whenever possible, we will take time to view/evaluate the work of our members.

A specific Flickr group has been created for members to join to make it easy to view the works of other members. For more information regarding the Flickr accounts/group, please talk to Deb DeJong (contact information is located on the Member Contact Information page within this website).
