Serving God by serving others is something we desperately need in order to be spiritually whole and healthy. A distinguishing mark of a follower of Christ is a life marked by service to others.Our volunteer opportunities are broken down into various categories, based on the gifts, skills, and personalities we each have.
• If any opportunity resonates with you, pray about it, if you decide you would like to learn more or sign up, contact the individual listed with that opportunity, or fill out a serving form.
• If you are unsure about whether the position is a good fit for you, ask the contact person if you can shadow a current volunteer. This will give you a better idea of what your position would be like.
