Opportunities to Serve
There are many ways in which to serve God and His kingdom. We encourage you to consider what may be a good fit and contact us below for more information on how to get started. Most people serve once a month, but there is no obligation. We can work with you based on your availability. Want to try something new...don't worry, we will show you what to do!
