Opportunities for Service

SERVE

 

As followers of Christ, we are called to SERVE. Service can take many forms: 

  • Service to community - local and global mission

  • Service to church - volunteer your gifts, talents, or energy

  • Service to one another - caring for those in need

are a result of the energies and gifts of our members who make them happen.
