How can I help?
Church is only possible because of dedicated volunteers who follow Jesus’ example of serving the needs of others.  Even during Phase I, there is an increased need for volunteers for set up and tear down, cleaning, greeting, tech team, and children’s ministry.  If you are interested, please contact the church.
